mattyD Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 could be a cv joint Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tom_1593 Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 I would defo say cv joint if it only knocks when turning. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LeeroyV Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 my front offside has just started to knock .... are the CV joints difficult to replace?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5T4R7ET N/A Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 ^^ if you have the right tools then they are not difficult to replace. the hardest bit it getting the hub nut off.watch some youtube vids to give you a idea Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aaddzz123 Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 If its more of a clicking then yeah it'll be the CV joint. As said above, realitively easy to replace the CV joint although I just changed both shafts when mine went because I found some cheap lol.If its more of a banging then it'll either be trackrod end or ball joint.Best bet is to move the wheel side to side as hard as you can (the actual wheel not steering wheel lol) and get a friend to put their hand over the joints to see if any have play Quote Link to post Share on other sites
