StarletRick Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 is it clunky all the time? or only when it is depressed? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Squeak-Glanza Posted January 15, 2008 Author Share Posted January 15, 2008 It seems to be on the passengers side of the car and its mostly happens when im turning right and it happens when the clutch is up.Im not sure but it seems to be after its hot or been running for a bit.

NeilH Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 i doubt its anything to do with the clutch mate. sounds more suspension to me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 sounds like driveshaft maybe? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NeilH Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 i think hes put the suspension back together after fitting the clutch and maybe left a drop link loose or something. easy to do, if u catch a bit of rust goin on you think its tight when its not. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

StarletRick Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 it sounds like a suspension issue. go and check all the bolts on the side the noise is coming from. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

OzGlanzaV Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 I have just fitted a new clutch and when the im driving round corners or turning im getting a clunk/knocking noise.Sonds like a knackered CV joint to me.If you had to remove the driveshaft when doing the cluch, you may have split the CV boot. Once all the grease comes out the dry joint starts knocking on full lock.Oz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Squeak-Glanza Posted January 16, 2008 Author Share Posted January 16, 2008 sam it more of a clicking noise and the cv joints are all ok... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Squeak-Glanza Posted January 24, 2008 Author Share Posted January 24, 2008 I've traced the noise to te diff i think what can be doing this... is there anything you have to do when putting new oil in when you have a diff fitted? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Squeak-Glanza Posted January 27, 2008 Author Share Posted January 27, 2008 I've been at the car today and all the cv joints are ok the suspension is ok and everything that i toke off for changing the clutch are ok.Could it be my diff thats causing the problem...I just cant figure it out and its really pissing me off.
