nearside knocking

Recommended Posts

For some time I've had a knocking noise from the nearside front end when cornering. It normally happens when I turn tight right then left, or vice versa (ie not just in one direction). I've had the top strut mounts replaced, and yesterday had it in to have both wishbones and arb droplinks replaced as well. Didn't to the arb bushes - could this be the problem? The new wishbones have definitely made an improvement - front end feels generally tighter and quieter over bumps, and the knocking is quieter but still there. Car is a '90 H 16v.

 

Of course, it could just be a loose battery......

Thought CVs was more of a constant clicking on lock...? This is more of a clunk that happens once.

to be honest, it DOES sound like a loose battery! :o

 

Check the vibration damper on the drive drivers side drive shaft. It's a HUGE chunk of HARD rubber which often breaks up and clonks about on the shaft... There's a thread about it HERE
