I have a modifies 1997 Dodge Neon and I have been getting noise from the rear driver's side tire whenever I hit a bump, pothole, etc. I cannot locate the exact source of the problem. Any suggestions as to where to look?
Thanks.

 

tie rod or ball joint.....jack up the front of the car and wibble the wheel....while wiggling it, watch your outter tie rod and lower ball joint and see if they move

 

Does that work for the rear as well?


Also check your strut mount.

 

i dont know if it does....ive never had any problems with my rears, only the front so thats all i know alot about.....compared to the rears

 

I only asked, because the OP said the sound was coming from the driver's side rear area.

 

i musta missed that then.....ive been around alot of paint fumes today so my brain isnt working like i want it to right now

hey, OP theres another abreviation for ya

 

Thats funny.

Just added it.

 

well its about time you start doin some moderator work

actually, now that i think about it, it would work for the rear to see if its a hub bearing

 

Hey, I'm working on a post that will have pics of the neon's sensor locations...like CPS and IAC and so on.

 

need any pictured let me know.....i have the motors sitting in the garage that can get pics pretty easily
