loud knocking on left turn???

[Bowen]

As title really,

ive noticed whilst turning left, at speed (not speeding) i noticed a loud knocking from the left hand side of the car? first thoughts are wheel bearing?

just seeking futher advice?

 

[AdamCupra]

is it a constant knocking.. or does it just knock once when you turn then knock again when you straighten up?

If its a constant knock knock knock on left lock then it might be your CV joint

its a constant knocking on left turns, straighten out and then it goes.

CV im going for then... check your CV boot see if its split, if so its more than likely running dry

so driving to work this morning, it was really getting on my tit. Pulled up in the carpark looked under the front passenger side, nothing?!

So i looked under the driver side and.......there it is a totally knackered cv joint!

i realise now that turning left, the right cv would be load bearing therefore of course that one would be bolloxed!

one more question, inner cv is the one furthest away from the wheel yeah?

thanks again.
