mrblonde 0 Posted November 19, 2007 hi ya,i know the search engine is not working that well soo...im getting a noise from the front passengers side only on a right turn,its a wearing noise if that makes sense?.it cant be bearings i had the mot done last month and he didnt even advise on the bearings being out.i cant see any rubing on the inside of the arch to.it has been lowered with knoi shocks etc if that helps. cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boombang 2 Posted November 19, 2007 Is the brake hose cable tied to the strut and well away from rubbing? I'd park it up on lock and have a very good look round the whole wheel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrblonde 0 Posted November 19, 2007 yeah i had a quick look tonight but my pug is low.so would be better up on ramps.i dont think it is the hoses.i hear it even on a slight turn right!. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baz 421 Posted November 20, 2007 CV Joints knocking? Can you jack it up and turn the wheels on full lock? You may not hear it though, might need to (make sure the car's very safe) start engine and put in gear, with car still up at the front, and try it then to see where the knocking's coming from. Only in Sawbo if you need a hand. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blish10 0 Posted November 20, 2007 This is probably quite amusing, but i had a similar situation... Opened up bonnet to find the battery tray/gearbox mount had ripped(!!) and the gearbox was now resting on the driveshaft!! Was fine when turning left, funnily enough, but turning right made a terrible noise and even passengers could feel it vibrating in the footwell. Fingers crossed for CV boot or something Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jrod 7 Posted November 22, 2007 You have to buy a new driveshaft. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrblonde 0 Posted November 23, 2007 oh fook!.thought as much.have to have a good look at it 2moz,cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jackherer 543 Posted November 23, 2007 You have to buy a new driveshaft. thats not strictly true, they are available separately but they aren't cheap and the inner joint is probably just as worn as the outer one anyway so a full driveshaft is probably wisest in the long term. http://www.buypartsby.co.uk/cv-joint-displ...hp?recordID=925 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
