If it happens when you turn while driving, it could be a broken sway bar link. Try to hear if it's coming from the pass. or driver side and check underneath next to the wheel (or just check both). Can be hard to spot sometimes but usually is hanging by one end with hardware missing. Cheap to replace, quick to fix.
The clicking is the halfshafts or front wheel drive axles. I have a hard time believing that they have went bad already but anything is possible. The banging noise is something in the suspension, perhaps struts or a sway bar link.
It could very well be your starter. I assume your battery is charged and we can mark that off. A starter will usually not go out instantly. It is a process. You can get it to start sometimes by hitting the starter with a hard object. Now, when you try to start the car and it doesn't, does it make a noise or not? If you get nothing, it is probably your starter. If it turns and doesn't start, it is something else.
fords famous power steering pump design its common if you replace the pump with a rebuilt one there is a paper with the new pump that warns you of this noise for about 500 miles after installing hope this helps
Yes. Hi. the plastic trim around the base of the steeringwheeland the steering column have an imperfection in one area that causes them to rub in a certain spot every time, are out of place slightly or are for some other reason making contact and creating a noise. Get right down there and turn the wheel and look for a rub. When you spot it use a sharp razor blade knife to trim it a wee bit. J. or, you have an issue with the steering shaft somewhere.
This is probably due to worn ball joints. If you hear it especially when turning into a parking spot or at a standstill, this is usually worn ball joints. Let me know what else I can do for you.
in the morning before you start your car take the gas cap off slowly and listen for pressure escaping... if it does that means your fuel pump is probably good. Also in a quiet parking spot, doors closed, driver window down,seatbelt on, stick the key in turn to half way and listen very closely and you should hear a whinning noise before you turn the key to the full start position...you should hear a whining sound ever so slightly of you fuel pump priming the pressure in the tank...if it does this then its working also.
there is a TSB(technical service bulletin) available at your dealership for that. Im pretty sure thats the cv shafts making that noise. its very common.
When the engine is cold, go under the car and try to shake the exhaust system at the approximate spot you hear the rattle coming from. It is most likely a heat shield for the exhaust, or a broken (rusted through) hanger for the exhaust making the noise you describe. You can probably correct it with a wire or couple of screws to secure the shield, or replace a hanger.
