Halp with any info is still requested fixed/ repaired YAY! my bearing was TOTALLY fubar'd flattend out roller bearings and everything... practically seized... but it was practically fused to the spindle ... which was also fubar'd... so when i shook it down it had no play up down left or right ... short of it all replaced spindle... replaced bearing ... paid 65 bucks done deal (This post was edited by siwentkiwer on Feb 9, 2011, 11:15 PM) Jeff Norfolk Enthusiast Dec 26, 2010, 6:36 PM Post #2 of 3 (1930 views) Re: 2004 spec v grinding / crunching noise Sign In Jack it up and see if either side is loose. If it's making that much noise it probably is and won't be safe.

If you are running aftermarket wheel/tire combo it tends to amplify/speed up the process due to the extra rolling mass of bigger/heavier wheels & tires. Does the noise happen regardless of wether the clutch is engaged or disengaged? If it is as pronounced as you described it should be fairly easy to find once you have it jacked up and can inspect it. __________________________________________________ 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee 2002 Ford Ranger 2004 Toyota Corolla 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
