Sup guys

well story goes, the other day there was a large blizzard going on in my area and i drove thru it, then since then, my cars been making a strange knocking sound. it might be from the engine but im not sure. When im idle, it doesnt knock at all. When i press the gas in park or neutral, no knocking. But when im in drive it knocks under low rpms, and when i tak emy foot off the gas itll knock sometimes slowly, but as soon as i turn my wheel left or right (moreso right) it begins knocking. I dont know if its from the wheels or the engine i cant figure it out, but if you guys can help id like to fix it before i damage anything cuz i need it for school.

Thanks ahead of time

i had a little knock, start your car and pop the hood, if its coming from you block it could be a loose spark plug, did you change them recently?

no, i havent ran maintinence since i got it (about 7 months ago @ 98k miles, its @ 101k right now), aside from the oil changes ive gotten ive done noething (though my car does burn oil and get bad gas mileage im getting that fixed tho) do you think that has anything to do with it?

thats the thing also, if its on neutral no matter how much i put the rpms up there is no knocking whatsoever, and one more thing ot note, the knocking seems to shake my steering wheel, so maybe its my suspension or my wheels? maybe somethings loose or the wheels are loose period?

perhaps something with the drive line might be a damage tie rod.

ok, so i honostly can't help with the knocking, but here's a tip if you have bad MPG, get new plugs and wires (should do anyways) go with NGK off of ebay, best bang for the buck, and then change your fuel filter too. after that check you milage, and good luck with the knocking

yeesh sounds bad lol, how much does things like that cost? schools made me really broke, but it prolly isnt something wrong with teh engine considering its fine idle?

and as for the bad gas mileage i am doing all that soon, thanks for the tips.

one of my friends had this problem it would knock when driving ,turning and backing up.he got another one from ebay for 200 it was for his 240sx.sounds like the same problem but dont quote me on that.oh yeah replace your air filter as well those dirty one's will kill milieage very bad.

Axles. It should be more pronounced while turning. and like knocking or clicking noise.

Bad mileage is plugs and wires

ok good news i found out the problem, bad news is i found out the hard way

im very lucky, as i was driving i pulled intot he target parking lot and my entire wheel fell off lol. Not so funny but the suspension didnt seem to sustain any damage but im geting it checked just in case. But yea the tire fell off and that sucked, and thanks alot for the tips on the mileage im def getting that checked out

your tire fell off????

Seen it happen.

Use a weak impact gun while tightening the lugs.... oops

that be some scary stuff there if he was would of been going faster.

Happened to me at 80, got alot of vibration and the steering didn't work so great pulled over to find I had zero tight lug nuts.

This was right after I fixed my car and I just tightened the lugs enough to get it off the stands... then I forgot to really tighten them. They lasted a week. Although my wheel never fell off it was a close call.
