Passenger side clickuing and weird noises

[mk3tg]

hey guys my 944 has had an issue for the last month now I've narrowed it out to two things the wheel bearing because the wheel did wobble alittle when i put it on a lift and moved it back and forth and maybe the cv joint or axle? the boot doesn't looked ripped but still, the noise get worse and worse every time i hit a bump ideas? also when somebody sits in the passenger seat and i hit a bump the cars fine no noise or anything



NOTE: new issue in the front passenger whenever i turn or hit a bump i get a nice clunking and craking noise what can it be

what year 944? You may be right on about the wheel bearing and or the carrier. It's possible you might have a bad shock on that side as well. They're easy to replace but I'd pull the wheel and test the hub for side to side and in and out play. Clarks garage has an item on this hub issue.

Check that the passenger seat is bolted to the floor properly, since the car makes no noice when someone is sitting there.
Just a thought.

the seats bolted i jacked up the car and i bent the fender at the bottom :facepalm: but the wheel was wobbling back and forth pretty bad the struts didnt look frozen and all the other components look new

Little front wheel wobble = bearings.
Big front wheel wobble = a-arm ball joints.

mk3tg...front or rear? Just to clarify.
One post mentioned cv joints, another mentioned struts.

open the hood, stand or push on the front bumper up and down and look at the top of the shock towers. If they're moving around, the strut mount is probably shot and It's time to replace the whole package, i.e., strut, mount and then realign. If you're wheel's wobbling, I'd suspect the control arm ball joints. Could be you have 2 problems and not just one.
