Clinking noise

[Teebow]

Took my talon to get gas and heard a noise that sounded like something was loose and clinking off and on at slower speeds and when decelerating.jacked it up and looked in and around the shaft to make sure a stick or something wasn’t in the shaft area.also put it in neutral and turned the wheels…..nothing???? Also heard a rubbing sound like tires rubbing against something. But nothing visible or while the engine is off???? Gonna hit the dealership up Tuesday. Anyone got anything?

Rear Inner CV joins are a common problem that causes a clicking noise. At first, it will only do it on hard surface and usually get better (or even go away) after you drive a while and the joints warm up but eventually it will be constant and even do it in dirt.

Another clue is that it will "click" only when turning one way and reduce or go away when you turn the opposite way. This will happen if it is only bad on one side.

Thanks Paul. That may be the issue. 1500 miles on a 2021.

Rubbing noise could be your shock spring rubbing against the plastic devider, mine does it sometimes and i just reclock the spring.

Upon further investigation, I done the figure 8 drive and I don’t think it’s the cv joint. It sounds like something on the drive line. Kinda like a limb or something rubbing at times almost like when you run over a tree limb or bush. And I can seemingly feel it in the floor when it makes the noise ??? I’ve looked in the shaft front and rear and can’t really see anything. Could the drive line joints be bad?

Yes, some Talons are having u-joint problems, the caps are spinning in their yolks. I 'think' you can see them if you remove the console, just a few push pins hold it in place.

Absolutely. VERY common problem with the Talon...

Talon Front Driveline Woes

There have been multiple reports of U-Joints on the Talon falling apart. I have now fallen victim to the problem but luckily caught it in the shop before it broke and not out on the trail. Many speculations such as missing clips, bad joints, etc. Instead of replacing the driveline and...

Update on the noise. Rear wheel bearing was in their words,”garbage “. And they weren’t sure but after a couple days Honda warranty covered the parts and labor . Picking it up today.

Thanks for the feed back gonna check mine also. I have been getting a clunking noise when I first apply throttle or switch between forward and reverse.

I could have sworn the noise was right beside me,(driveline) but they said it was fine. I guess the noise can travel through moving parts ??

Check the oil level in the subtrans and maybe drain and refill it to check for metal shavings in the oil. Your description sounds more like a subtrans issue than a driveshaft problem.

Also check your shifter cable adjustment.
