Car makes a clunking noise when accelerating.?

Betsey Muehlbach: It's likely a bad front transaxle shaft joint. they can clunk when cold but heat makes them free up a bit from swelling of the material but still needs replaced.

Leontine Kreitz: is this noise coming from the engine ? pressing hard on the gas pedal opens up the intake wider, intake is ur air fuel mix so it makes that noise thats normal. or I would guess ur car is getting older and the gaskets of ur exhaust is losing up. see i'm just guessing what it is since I can't really hear the noise.a bottle of liquid ? I would think that would be your gas in ur tank.don't worry about it. if it's not too obvious don't have a bunch of mechanics or people touching around and messing around ur car . if it's a problem it will be more visible . but like I said if it's from ur engine while accelerating hard on the pedal then pretty sure it's intake or exhaust.. try pressing the pedal slowly. slowly accelerate i'm sure u won't hear a thing....Show more

Abel Adg! er: bad axles will click when turning but clunking is usually a loose axle. Take the tire off and check the axle nut in the center of the hub.

Maynard Reevers: check under your car and look for a rubber boot around your front passenger axel,could be the axel making the noise because the boot is done, and there is debres.
