Soo, I have changed the timing belt, head gasket and all of the gaskets possible on my car, I got it all together now and the car runs fine just when i turn the car on there is a little knock noise I dont remember hearing it before? also sometimes I can feel like cracking noise under my feet. If anyone can help it would be appreciate. Thank you

Worn CV joints or they require regreasing. How many miles on the car?

500evo

55000 miles

I dont think it is the CV joints, Its something else I feel like, when I turn the car on there is one 1 knock and it stops, I just dont want i to escalade into more knocks.

Wouldn't be surprising if they were starting to make noise at that mileage. Mine are starting to make a bit of noise when it's really cold and I'm at about 45K miles.

If the noise is louder when you are accelerating around a corner then it will be you CV (constant velocity) joints.

You can try replacing the grease on them, that can quiet them them down. Replacing them isn't a massive expense though.

When I drive the car there is no noise, I only felt noise when i was breaking but that was my breaks, LOL. Also i was driving today and i let go of my steering wheel and the steering wheel just went to the right side. I do think it needs alingment tho.

So the knocking noise is at idle or while your driving in a turn or whatever you have to be more specific.

Its only when i turn on the car, its only at idle. The cracking noise were my breaks they were dirty.

Are you running stock suspension? It could be top mounts. Does it make pop noise at only when you turn all the way?

The rear bushings on the front lower control arms are a common failure point. Check those to make sure they're not torn, they'll knock pretty good on you.

I thought you were saying that when the car turns, it makes a knocking noise.

What you really mean is; When you start the car, there is a knocking noise?

500evo

Its a 2006 IX MR. The suspension is stock teins. Now when i drive somtimes when i accelarate and slow down i can feel crackling and little knocks, I did remove the top engine holder piece that holds the suspensions, when I was removing the gaskets, can there be somthing with that? The bigger knock is when i turn the car on.

500evo

Yup MR teins. I havent tryed that yet but problems seems to be escalading, this morning when i tryed to show it my mechanic friend the knock was gone! Then 1 hour later it was back. How messed up is that.

Yeah its suck when noise is gone while its at the shop. You mean strut bar? If this is happening after you did work on ur car, you should check see every bolts are not loose.
