a few questions...

[dreydin]

ive used the search tool and failed, so bear with me.


1) on my rear passenger side, near the back tire/brake assembly, its making a loud click/spoke noise. anyone have any ideas? i usually only hear it when i drive by a wall where it echoes the noise, but its very annoying :shake:

2) im gonna be putting some seafoam into my car pretty soon. ive done some reading on recent posts and older, but since im a noob, i dont know where the PCV valve is. i have an idea, but can anyone be more specific? maybe some pictures! ive also read that there are two PCV valves?

3) have any of you put seafoam into your gas tank? or was it all used via PCV?


sorry if this is redundant!

You can put seafoam in your tank or via the PCV (on the pass. side valve cover)...We have put it in the PCV valve just to get a higher concentrate of the stuff on the valves and pistons...

As for your cliicking sound...Does it make that noise when going straight, or when turning???

I would look at your LSD...friction modifier? Oil change??

Hope this helps...

for the clicking, check your lug nuts to make sure they are correct and tight. Mine had incorrect locking lug nuts when I bought it, which didn't seat properly and led to clicking.

pcv valve is on the top of passenger valve cover, toward the front of the car. It sticks up 3-4" and is connected via black plastic tube 5/8" diameter to the top of the intake manifold. There is only 1 pcv valve. On the driver's side, near the firewall, is a similar connection which is connected by hose to the intake tube. This is just a connection, no valve is inside.

I have also put seafoam in gas tank. no problems. it's labeled for that use, too.

If the wheel is tight, then adjust the e brake cables.

When I fist purchased my vehicle used I also heard a similar sound especially if I drove down a small side street, I could hear the sound echo against parked cars. To find out later...the car had alignment issues, numbers were way off. I think they used Grand Marquis specs instead of Marauder...there's a difference. Hopefully this helps, but maybe I just added to the confusion of your trouble shooting!

Had the exact same issue as dreydin and it was the parking brake adjustment.

thanks for the info guys!

i was gonna drop a can of the seafoam into my car before i went outta town, but i left it at home and im already at work :( so i guess ill just do that when i get back.

for the click noise, ill take a look into everything you guys mentioned. by the way, do the e brake cables have anything to do with the ABS system?

Yeah, I'd say e-brake too. Mine started out as clicking, then gradually sounded like I was dragging a gym locker behind me.
You may also, just for S&G, check for something stuck in the tread like a rock or screw.

My TSB axle kit came in yesterday. :D

Last night I put nearly a whole can of seafoam through the vacuum line and let it soak for 4 hours. Then I put 4-5 ounces into a half full gas tank. Today at lunch I poured nearly a whole can into the crankcase oil. So I'm gonna be really clean.
