Werid Clunking/ clanking noise from the passanger side. HELP PLEASE!!!!

[Tanner T]

I have a 1969 datsun 510 4 door and i am having some troubles trying to figure out whats wrong. Whenever i turn my car to the right i hear a clunking/ clanking noise from the passanger side wheel well area; i know its not rubbing cuz i looked and everything its tight that i can see and feel. Whenever im going straight it doesnt make noise tho. Any help would be helpful!

Maybe a right rear CV?

[moparvwfreak]

my thoughts as well. if everything is tight, axle is the only thing it could be.

Does it do it when you're not moving?

Control arm bushings

Tie rod ends

Not totally sure what it looks like under a 510.

Get under there and check your rubbers.

 

But more importantly we require pictures of your 510

Or else

As mentioned above

front steering linkages.....

 

 

 

it doesn't sound like life or death.

So how about pics.

I thought about that as a problem but the thing is it sounds like its coming from the front right, but i will take ur advice and look into that, thanks!

Had a similar noise in my old celica. My cv axle was going out but that was front wheel drive... Also had similar noise from a completely blown strut before. It would clunk on turns where it was on the outside of the turn

510s have IRS?

The more you know!

 

 

I expect pics by this time tomorrow or I'll do something drastic

That's plenty of time to think of something drastic.

I say its the wheel bearings.

Had the same issue on my wagon years ago.

Go ahead & replace both inner & outer at the same time.

Check the lug nuts are tight.

Worn tension rod bushing

Sway bar bushing worn/loose missing.

Idler arm worn/loose?

Broken coil spring.

Wheel bearing improper pre load. (loose)
