tick/click when pulling away..?

[Alex_X93]

The noise happens mainly when engine transfers weight on pull away it sounds like its coming from passenger wheel or bulkhead back of engine area. Not always but constantly. Now iv recently replaced with oe renault parts the bottom arms ball joints and bushes complete, roll bar bushes, rack bushes, inner/outer rack ends, shocks x4, 2x top mount kits, v6 antiknock stw's. All of these bits are on fine/tight and have improved the front end feel no end. It's just these noises on pull away from stand still. Im thinking dog bone?, exhaust centre section or olive joint manifold to cat? Drivshafts? could anyone pls advise me at all from experience its almost a metalic pop or click/tick, I sometimes get when cornering sharply but very rarely.Its driving me mad . Alex

Hi matey i got the same problem if its when you go round corners it would be your driveshaft as ive just had the same problem

 

[Leigh_X172]

have the same thing on my 172, If you get hold of the track rods they will move if you twist them but seem to be very limited in how much they twist, i put the Noise down to this on mine as made same noise when i twisted them

rear engine mount would cause a similar symptom, if its just from pulling off, however you'd probably notice the gearstick moving forward/backwards at the same time
