knocking when turning right
« on: May 21, 2012, 11:59:07 pm »
My car has suddenly developed a knocking noise mainly when turning right and/or a bumpy surface. It sounds quite bad so i've just limped it home :chicken: My mods are in my sig if thats any help  :drinking:

Not what I need really a month before I drive across half of europe :fighting:

Cheers

Sounds exactly the same as mine , it turned out to be a split cv gaitor and the grease had dried out .

I used an independant , the new joint was about £ 50 I think plus the labour to swap it over .

I was initially thinking steering rack , thankfully it wasnt .

Good luck

Ok so I just took the car for a quick spin round the block and it seems to do it when going over a bumpy road more than when turning, it almost sounds as if its under my feet/centre console.

Any one got any ideas please?

I've got a quiet knocking too.  Got subframe bolts to see if it helps.

Sounds a lot like the problem with mine. I tried drop links but they made no difference  :sad1:

Could be your strut top mount?

Cheers, my cv joints are fine, its the clamp from around the driver side of the front arb that has snapped, causing the d-bush to move round so the arb is knocking (metal on metal) on the frame.

I'm just glad its not anything major. I've pm'd w8 performance who supplied them and waiting for his reply.

Has anyone else had this? Mike, Simon seemed to think you'd had this at some point?

Cheers

Cheers mate, looks pretty much the same thing, except mine has snapped a bit further up. What arb do you have and what causes this? My arb only got fitted about 4 months ago and I always try and avoid potholes and I pretty much CRAWL over speed bumps
