Weird Jingling Noise

[scuba_steve91]

Hey guys.
My car is making a weird jingling noise after I installed a set of regular SE wheels for the rear. Not sure if it's the wheels making the noise, but it started after I installed them. The noise seems to be coming from the front of the car.
I would describe the noise similar to the noise that your keys make when you're driving, when your keys are hanging from the starter.

Any idea what it is? ><

throwout bearing

sleigh bells?
It is that time of the year

[scuba_steve91]

oh my god the noise is annoying the crap out of me. JINGLE BELLS every second. So it's the throwout bearings?

My car also makes a water sloshing noise too! Too many noises in my head.

The pivot bolt for my alternator would do that right before it fell out. I just replaced ANOTHER one recently. Even used loctite the time before that.

Check the pivot bolt for the alternator.

Before I click this thread, I see a new reply. I get happy and excited because it could be some helpful information. I'm disappointed now. Contributing answers only plox.

your description is so bland that nobody is able to really help...

get underneath your car and look for problems, diagnose it yourself

be a man

yeah. could be a lot of different things. i had a weird metal jingling noise myself. turned out the metal in the test pipe broke or got loose or something and now it makes that noise. also had that noise when the bolts to the exhaust flanges were loose.

good point.

loose bolts anywhere..

or a broken exhaust hanger.

[DataXUnknown]

^ I agree. Probably loose bolts somwhere. I have a loose bolt that don't stay tight I got tired of tightening it so I just deal with tha jingalingaling...

its the cotter pins and castle lock washer on the rear axle nut mine makes the same noise,

and the sloshing sound you here is the gas.

now turn the radio the fuck up and come back when you have a real problem

[SLeepingPanda]

So this only happens when you're driving? Can the sound be heard when you're stationary and revving the engine?

have someone drive your car and you see on the passenger seat windows down. Drive by some parked cars, as you do the sound should reflect off of 'em it might help locate it.

If it's the wheels, I hope the lug nuts are torqued. Possibly you need some hub centric rings.

is it really loud when you make a left or a right turn? If so it could be your starter haha

That's the sound it makes when the teeth is all messed up and stuff.

Only makes the noise when I go over like 10 MPH. Faster I go, more squeaking it makes. If i go over a rough road, it squeaks even more.

So the swooshing noise in the rear is my gas tank? It feels like when I gas it from a stop, the water starts moving back, then forth. The momentum is definitely making it swoosh.

This guy's got it. Your jingle bells are the cotter pins

That was my guess too.. My car makes that same sound and I was able to trace it back to the Cotter Pins. Good Luck

Check your bushings.

[jamben]

[handinpants]

swooshing sound is coming from your gas baffle plate. its loose and pls take that shit off. it can create spark inside your tank and BOOM!


U DIE.
