Clio Mk1
Hi everyone,
my poorly clio mk1...
I am getting a repeating knocking noise when driving in a straight line, it dissapears when turning either way. The knocking increases with road speed but not the engine speed and still makes the sound when the clutch is pressed.
Also when i hit it on full lock it makes the same knock/click just once, regardless of if i am moving or not! And there is an occasional '1off' clicking/knocking when turning,
any ideas?
my local 'dodgy' garage said it was the cv joint but apparently you cant get just the cv joint 'for my car' id have to get the whole shaft. He wanted £90 for the shaft an £40 for labour. I told him where to go.
I have pressed my ear against the steering wheel and its is definatly from down there!
Doubt its power steering fluid but il check that when i can be bothered getting out of bed.
your help is much appriciated.
Andy
