Sounds like a chicken clucking, coming from under the front
I can only hear it at low speeds, a sound like a chicken when it's strutting around the farmyard... Cluck... Cluck cluck..... Cluck. Only when the car is cold, it seems to go away after a while.
Seems to be coming from under the front of the car..... Could it be the front driveshaft? It's an 04 with 75k miles. |

No there are no fittings on the shaft, pretty sure it's original to the car.

Yes, I'd start with the drive shaft as being a serious front runner for solving this issue. If you're going to take it off and engage the CDL to test, you might as well rebuild it or install an aftermarket one. Gonna need it regardless. |
I have read about the driveshaft, that's why I asked if it sounds like that.

uhhhh, did you check for a chicken, under there?
|
yep that is what it sounds like

could (and prolly is) your shaft. but if you can hear it at idle (slightly raise rpms) choke that chicken ....................spray some wd40 (or the likes) on your pulleys, 1 by 1, till you find it. the lube will briefly silence the cluck, if that is the egg.
|
If the chicken lays golden eggs leave it alone.
At $1,200 an ounce you can then buy a new rover. Don't drive it like this. Could be the front drive shaft. If that drops, your trouble will be a lot worse. |
