Exclamation Some problems

Well, I have two problems and I wanted to see if anyone on here has had them before.. The first one is a giant click when taking sharp turns such as stop signs and what not.

The second, when I back up my car up I hear a constant bumping noise as if something is rotating on the same piece. Any ideas?

There's a TSB for the rear axle seals. Might explain some of the low speed cornering noise?

clicking sounds like it could be axles.

I'm sorry to hear this! Have you had this issue diagnosed at your dealership? If not, I would be happy to arrange an appointment for you. If you could send a private message with your full contact information, VIN, mileage, and name of preferred dealership, I can speak with them about this issue you are experiencing. Thank you!

Many aftrmarket wheel have a Tire Pressure Monitor Sensor (TPMS) that looks like a valve stem on the wheel. That TMPS stem clicks against the rear ebrake cable. I your wheel have that external stem and it is making noise it requires immediate attention. The stem will fail and your tire will go flat.

If you are not sure, take pictures and post them here.
