For the love of god, i have a 2001 dakota 4.7 and there is this noise coming from the rear that sounds like woop woop woop everytime i turn the steering wheel. what on gods green earth could it be im out of ideas...please help its driving me insane..ps at first i thought it was the powersteering rack so i put a new one in and $350 later the noise was still there

 

Is the truck moving and turning when you hear this woop-woop? Does it change with speed?

 

U-Joints or your diff.

Check the U-Joints they should be tight as all hell no play at all.

Diff dont know how to check that? sorry

No brake problems?

Steering problems?

Did you run something over?

Did the three Stooges hitch a ride under you truck?

"Gimme a 3 letter word meaning 'rat'." "Meaning 'rat'?" "Yeah." (Ted points to Curly) "Him."

 

98,

Who's Ted?

 

Stooge # 4 you didnt see him all that much.

Were are the brakes?

 

nah i didnt run anything over its been like that since i bought it al,ost 2 years ago. but ill check the u joints and the diff if i can figure out how..thanks alot

 

o yeah and yes the noise moves with the truck if im going fast then the noise speeds up and its only when i turn

 

Im still confused

so it only makes that noise in turns?

Im going to suggest something TIRES?

 

Spider gears.

When you go straight they aren't moving, well, much. When you turn, then they move pretty good. Do you have an LSD? It is possible that the clutch retainer broke and damaged the pinion gears. Pull the cover off the differential and check.

Thats what I think also get the diff checked out

I blew out my my spider gear shaft many years past and it was noisy screaming at me HELP IM DAMAGED.
