ian Posted December 5, 2006 Posted December 5, 2006 i had to replace one for my M.O.T last year well it was an advisory but never noticed any knocking it was a rear one n most of the time my music is to loud to hear itjust jack up each wheel have a shake and a good old look round?? Quote
Sparky Posted December 5, 2006 Posted December 5, 2006 Never had a problem with them touch wood Quote
Mikey Jay Posted December 5, 2006 Posted December 5, 2006 I get that loud knocking noise like that when I brake at slow speed and sometimes when I go over speedbumps.(not stalking you really Sparky ) Quote

Its really annoyin.What do you guys think?clunking noise? wheel bearings is like a humming noise and usually you'l hear it all the time, maybe your driveshafts/cv joint is kunted..... Quote
starletno1fan Posted December 5, 2006 Author Posted December 5, 2006 thats the thing though, it even starts knockin wen i drive in a straight line!When it knocks, i can feel it under my feet and its quite loud Quote
Mikey Jay Posted December 5, 2006 Posted December 5, 2006 That doesnt sound healthy (or safe!)Is is a 'clunk' type noise that sounds like it comes from behind you?Get it all the bloody time, is a bit worrying really.... Quote
starletno1fan Posted December 5, 2006 Author Posted December 5, 2006 its a clunk type noise that sounds like it is comin from my front wheel(s). and that i can feel it also Quote
Mikey Jay Posted December 5, 2006 Posted December 5, 2006 Ah, I would take i down to a garage and get it checked outEspecially if you can feel it Quote
Guest Stevie_B Posted December 5, 2006 Posted December 5, 2006 its a clunk type noise that sounds like it is comin from my front wheel(s). and that i can feel it alsoyip, sounds like youe driveshafts/cvlet us know how you get on Quote
paul w Posted December 5, 2006 Posted December 5, 2006 Drive shafts tend to make a clicking noise rather than a clunk,is the noise under acceleration? Could be suspension related/bushes,could be a loose battery,engine mount. All should be looked at,check the cv boots for splits if they're split then theres a good chance thats the prob. Quote
paul w Posted December 5, 2006 Posted December 5, 2006 Constant velocity joint,look behind the wheels for the rubber boot. Quote
Mikey Jay Posted December 5, 2006 Posted December 5, 2006 Riteo, shall have a look on my days off at the end of the week. Quote
Nanglebadger Posted December 5, 2006 Posted December 5, 2006 I had a similar prob a while back, tho one of my rear whell bearins is shot at the mo too, again an advisory from MOT, COULD it be that a wheel nut or two is loose?? this is wot happened to me, made clunky noise and turned out half the rear wheel nuts had come loose due to the wheel eatin into the paint on the rear drums.Sounds stupid i know but it would be an easy and cheap fix if thats all it was.Phil.

Its really annoyin.What do you guys think?When we bought the car new, the wheel wouldn't spin if you tried it with your hand when the car was jacked up.My dad thought the wheel bearings were gone, but its was jammed brakes, just thought i'd let you know But my cousins had to change the bearings on his GT recently, they were making some crazy arse noises!

keirz Posted December 5, 2006 Posted December 5, 2006 if its your driveshaft it will only make the noise while accelarating, i think! from my experience anyway. just pray it isnt drive shaft or toyota will def shaft you to the tune of £200 a side. Quote
Idrees Posted December 5, 2006 Posted December 5, 2006 but the scrappers wont shaft you £40 a side...luckily Quote
starletno1fan Posted December 6, 2006 Author Posted December 6, 2006 thanks for the feedback guys! A few months back i had a knockin noise aswell, and that turned out to be a couple of loose wheel nuts like phil said! but i checked that as soon as i heard it start kockin again but it wasnt that.neway I took it out for a spin tonight, and noticed that it only knocks when i accelerate when the wheel is turned to the right. So it doesnt knock when i turn left or when its out of gear.Hopefully i can get it checked out tomorrow, if my mechanic can book me in. Quote
Nanglebadger Posted December 6, 2006 Posted December 6, 2006 Hope u get it sorted ASAP dude!Phil. Quote
keirz Posted December 6, 2006 Posted December 6, 2006 im almost 100% sure its driveshaft mate. i have the same problem at the minute. Quote
starletno1fan Posted December 7, 2006 Author Posted December 7, 2006 after lookin round my wheels with my mate we found the passenger side cv boot had split.so hopefully get it replace asap. Quote
starletno1fan Posted December 9, 2006 Author Posted December 9, 2006 bought a cv joint repair kit and my mate repaired it for me! all good nowthx for the help Quote
