Clicking/grinding noise

[Jaydogg95]

Fellow FXers,

I have an '03 FX45 with 65,000 miles on it. Recently whenever i'm moving from a stopped position and making a turn, while accelerating I hear a weird clicking sound coming from the front turning side wheel. Does anyone have any ideas? Please advise. Thank you.

Does this only happen when you are accelerating while turning?

 

[Jaydogg95]

Yes, only then.

Sounds like a CV joint.

Thank you. Going to have it checked out in a couple days. Hope to not break the bank.

After a couple of trips to the mechanic, the problem has been solved. It so happens that the noice was coming from under the FX. That's because the center support bearing was loose. Who whould have thought? Tighten a couple of bolts and magic. Thank you for your suggestions.
