Nzoner's Game Room>Need some help from the mechanics
TLO 06:51 PM 08-15-2020
2015 Dodge Charger RT - 75,000 miles.

I'm noticing a clicking/ticking sound coming from the front end, (sounds like maybe from the right side) under acceleration at low speed. The noise is also present when coming to a stop. It seems to be worse when turning under acceleration. At higher speeds the noise goes away. (Will generally stop once I hit 15mph or so)

The noise is not present when the car is cold. Takes about 15 minutes of driving before it becomes noticeable at all.

Car seems to be running well, no issues shifting.

Will try to provide more details as needed.

Found this on one of the forums - sounds roughly like the issue I'm having, but these issue was never resolved

Coincidentally it occurs only when I make a right. The clicking noise also comes in and out when I slowing accelerate or decelerate at slow speeds.

Half shaft or drive shaft, go by both names. Pretty common in front wheel drive cars. For the record I’m no mechanic but I’ve sold wholesale auto parts for 20+ years now. Not expensive part and not terrible to replace if you have the tools.

Oh I'd do a happy dance if it's just a CV joint.

Well Chargers are RWD, so idk if that makes any difference.

Good point. Do they have AWD versions? Could be wheel bearing then.

I’ve done lots of wheel bearings. Worst part is usually breaking loose the old one from mount.

My Dad is a former professional mechanic and has helped me with more issues than I can count over the years. He's out of town at the moment, so he can't help me look at it.

Anyway I called him earlier and told him what was going on and the first words out of his mouth were, "this is why you should have gotten a Camaro."

Thanks Dad. :-)
