After replacing basically, the entire front-end drivetrain like drive axles, wheel hubs/bearings, rotors and brake pads I still have a severe roulette wheel clicking sound coming specifically from the driver side. It begins immediately upon moving forward or reverse and during turns (sharp left only at this point during drive up our street), increases when speed increases. Like I mentioned everything is new, not rebuilt. It has a vibration but I somewhat attribute that to it needing an alignment, tires are all brand new so no separation problems. Transaxle isn't original to car, replaced with used one after a mechanic put Dexron III in instead of ATF+4 destroying the inside of the transaxle. Transaxle has just over 200,000 miles and no problem that I can see after changing seals, gaskets, sensors just before installing it at a shop. What is causing this irritation? Could it be a transaxle problem after all? The only thing I haven't messed with is the power steering rack and steering system, tie rods look okay from what I could see.
What am I missing here? No, not junking this car after thousands of dollars refurbishing it with its original engine never being rebuilt.
