'94 850 Turbo wagon intermittent clicking noise

Post by Squeaky »

I'm new - great forum!

My recently acquired 1994 850 turbo wagon has an intermittent clicking or clacking (take your choice) at speeds under 60kpm that seems to come from inside either the driver's or rear right door.

For all the world it sounds as though you left the belt from your trenchcoat hanging outside and it is flapping on the door. I thought it was brake related, but a complete tear-down eliminated that possibility. I now think that it could also sound like the power door lock mechanism trying to trip on (or off).

Does this sound familiar to anyone?

Thanks,
Squeaky

Clicking sounds are usually attributed to swaybar link failure or a contaminated axle due to a torn CV boot.

A loose handbrake cable caused a clink clink for me while going over bumps.
Help keep MVS on the web -> click sponsors' links here on MVS when you buy from them.
