Volvo S40 :: 2006 - Hearing A Thud Near The Front Of The Car


Sep 21, 2015

I have a 06 Volvo s40 (Manual) and am hearing a thud near the front of the car. I have got the car to make the sound a few different ways. The first is starting off a little jumpy, also breaking abruptly. Now the breaking doesn't have to be hard but hitting the break fast makes the sound. Last but not least going over bumps. My initial guess is the struts and maybe shock combination. To my ears it seems like the passenger side(front) but I guess it could be both sides.

Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: 2001 - Loud Thud And Again Thud Then Drive Normal?

While driving my 2001 F350 7.3 today running errands it started to have a real concerning issue. Once I slowed down back into my neighborhood it would make a thud, then feel like someone was pushing the brakes (even when i gave it gas). Then it would thud again and drive normal. I'm worried its the transmission getting ready to go. Any input?

Volvo :: 2006 - Squeaking Noise Mostly On The Front Right In The Morning

I have a newly purchased 2006 Volvo ST60. It was making a lot of clacking noises so I had the struts and shocks replaced. It still makes a lot of noises and now I distrust the people who did the job to give me a competent answer as to what is going wrong.. In the AM it also makes a squeaking noise mostly on the front right...maybe a bushing rubbing against something...not sure but that noise goes away after driving for a while. Short bumps in the road seem to elicit more sound that others but the car just seems to have very stiff suspension. This was also true before the strut/shock replacement. Sometimes it sounds like two washers without rubber bushings are rattling together.

Ford Ranger / B-Series :: Constant Thud Coming From Front Driver Side While Driving

When driving down the road, there is a constant "thud thud thud" coming from the front driver's side of my 99 Ranger. I've been looking online for about two hours now, going back and forth to my truck to see if I can figure out the problem. All I've come up with is that it's the sway bar links. they're both disconnected, and I'm going to replace them anyway, but would that cause the constant thudding?

Lexus GS 2006-11 :: Transmission Slips To About 2000 RPM And Then A Thud In First Gear

So I just purchased an 07 gs350 104,000miles. Drove fine during test drive. Got it home (private party) and so far 3 times in 2 days, pulling away from a stop light throttle. Car moves forward but transmission slips to about 2000rpm and then a thud- as it re-engauges into I think first gear. Engine coolant was low (heater did not work), so I refilled. Did not overheat according to gauge. Tried resetting battery. Cannot see any sort of leak under car.

Honda - Cr-v :: 2006 - After Start Up At 1st Gear Makes Thud Sound

Have a Honda 2006 CRV 89K miles. When I start the car put it into drive first time at or near to the first gear change point get a thud sound (sound from the rear, maybe left rear as face vehicle). However as drive the car around coming to a stop without turning off the vehicle, on acceleration no sound. If I park the vehicle on restart and acceleration get the same sound but depending on the amount of time the vehicle is out of gear the sound seems to be lessened (less time less sound).

Ford 7.3L Power Stroke (1999-2003) :: Loose Sounding Rattle In Front End And Thud During Braking?

I picked up a 2000 4x4 F250 on Saturday.

The truck rides pretty good but on bumpy roads there is a loose sounding rattle in the front end. Also when applying the brakes there is a thud in the front drives side. You can feel it in the drivers floor board a little. Once you start braking about halfway to complete stop is when the thud is, if that makes sense. I suspect bushings but how do I know which ones.

Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: 2001 - One Loud Bang / Thud In Front Axle Area When In 4 Low

We were using my 2001 7.3 4x4 (automatic, manual lock outs) in 4 low yesterday on dry pavement in an attempt to pull out the remainder of a 6x6 post in concrete. We were working her pretty hard alternating directions of pulling. At one point we heard a loud bang (see also: thud; pop; etc). It seemed at that point that the front axle was no longer functioning in 4wd. We still had the low gearing feel, but at one point I noticed my rear tires trying to slip on the driveway, but fronts didn't appear to be pulling anymore.

Long story short, came in, went to bed, went out this morning and thought I'd jack up the front end and roll the tires in both 'free' and 'lock' to see if the universal joints (yokes?) behind each wheel were spinning or not, depending on whether free or locked in. I noticed on the passenger side a few drops of a clear/light colored fluid that had dripped from behind the dust cover that isn't functioning any longer. The joints worked as they should, based on if it was locked in or not.

I decided to go ahead and put the back axle on jackstands as well and see how it was working when "driving". When in 2wd, rear worked, front was stationary, as it should be. when in 4high, rear spun, front driver spun erratically, nothing from passenger front (where I had seen drip). 4low was same thing - erratic on driver side, at best.

So I know I have front axle/transfer case issues. The question is, with the drip (smells like grease, so I'm assuming its gear oil?) would I be safe to drive it a few days with hubs in free position? I don't want all of the fluid leaking out when I'm driving down the road. I use the truck for work and wouldn't be able to be without it until later in the week or next week. But I also don't want to drive it if it will just make my predicament worse.

Golf V R32 :: Pulleys Self Destructed / Started Hearing Odd Sound

Last Friday I was driving with my GF in her R32, and we started hearing an odd sound. We pulled over, and I opened the hood for her, and there was plastic bits all over the right side of the engine bay. Apparently one of the pulleys self destructed.

We called AAA, had it brought to the stealership, and they didn't get it started until yesterday. They originally told her that it was the alternator dampener, and another part for the DSG needed to be replaced under recall. They told her the parts would be in today, and should have it done by tomorrow (Wednesday) or Thursday at the latest.

Now, they just called her, and both parts are not available at the VW warehouse and are having to come in from Germany. It may still be another week or so.

Prius (2004-09) :: Hearing Single Beep About Every 4 Minutes While Driving?

I am hearing a single BEEP, about every 4 minutes, when I am driving. What the heck is it? I can't figure it out, looked in the Manual.

I found the Internal Alarm on Page 432, don't think it is that. The key is in my pocket, the car is on, I am driving! I've also removed the key from my pocket and set it on the front passenger seat, darn BEEP continues.

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: RPMs Dropped After Hearing A Screeching / Grinding Noise

I have an issue with the 02 1.8t (wife has an issue). We recently took our car in to get some service work done and the mechanic informed me that he thinks the tranny is starting to go and just baby it....Fast forward a month the wife is driving the car, she said at around 40mph 2k RPM and the RPMs just drop after hearing a screeching/grinding noise....

Then she tried to apply throttle and it redlined...She said it would shoot up in RPM and not go over 30mph, she used the triptonic to get home and was able to get up to 45..Sat for a bit and I drove it, everything seemed ok..Shifts good, stops fine, no weird noises, etc....

Car is a 2002 Jetta 1.8t w/ 148k miles, regularly maintained, never had tranny oil flushed..

I have a 2010 Chevy Equinox and I hear a pinging noise when my car is idling and when I drive below 40m.p.h. It sounds like a diesel engine, when it isn't. I have the 2.4L Ecotech direct injection. The dealership says this is normal, but why is it so noisy. What if anything can I do about the noise or is there a problem with the Equinox?

Passat (B6) :: Spooling Slow And Hearing Turbo Whine Slowly Raise In Pitch

My 07' sport has been spooling slowly and I hear the turbo whine slowly raise in pitch. After it gets up to speed the car then gets a surge of power. Previously I could not hear the turbo during the spooling phase and the power would have a light and smooth push like a bed of air under mid-heavy 4th gear acceleration. Seems most obvious around 2.5k rpm from a neutral throttle position. Dealer claims normal function, but it is definitely abnormal. I have also had oil pressure lights which generated no codes and were explained away as the engine being sensitive to the oil Ievel which was slightly high. I thought at first it was the cold weather, but after our 80 degree day yesterday and same results.
