16journeydave Posted September 11, 2018 Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 When we go up hill the the front end feels like it’s all over the place. It makes a grinding noise that turns into a clunking noise but only when the vehicle is going uphill. It also has the same noise every once in awhile while turning left, but the front end feels tight turning left. We’ve replaced the tires and bearings. Still the dealership has idea what’s going on. Anyone experience it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkeaton Posted September 12, 2018 Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 It. Could. Be. Anything. Take a service tech on a ride and demonstrate the issue. OhareFred, Armando G and 2late4u 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armando G Posted September 13, 2018 Report Share Posted September 13, 2018 My bet is a worn bushing, but could also be the transmission. But jkeaton could be right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rossco Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 Check the cv joints. Do you get a clicking noise on full lock when moving? rossco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dharry1960 Posted June 19, 2020 Report Share Posted June 19, 2020 16journeydave - Did you ever resolve the problem ? I have the same problem. So far the coupler for the transaxle was replaced...

2late4u Posted November 30, 2020 Report Share Posted November 30, 2020 my daughters patriot 4 wheel drive was making a clunking noise when turning both ways but not all the time and when turning in a full turn no clicking sound i was thinking cv joints but wasn't sure what as they looked good when i checked them visually, anyways her reg mech said both front c v joints were bad and replaced them and the noise went away.
