Title: Knocking noise?
Post by: RENNTAG on July 22, 2011, 09:12:05 pm

Hi all,

I have got a knocking noise coming from the passanger side when the car is on full lock to the right.

I have searched the forum but it seems people are only getting this problem once they have lowered the car. My car is standard so thought i might be a diferent issue.

Its a 2006 car with 70,000 miles on the clock.

Please help, and thanks in advance.

Is it just one clunk/knock? Or constant?

a start would be to pop your head under the car where the drive shaft meets the wheel and see if there is grease around it. or if there is a rip in the CV Gator /Boot

Thanks for all your replies  :happy2:

its a constant knocking noise. CV joint would make sense. The CV boot on that side was replaces 6 months ago but prehaps that was too late and the damage has been done.

will have to get that sorted soon then  :rolleye:
