Turning left knocking?

Post by brewstu »

Hey all. Ive got a knocking noise coming from my car
when I turn left round corners, but my steering feels fine.
Now im quite new to fixing the more mechanical aspects of cars but im trying to learn. :newbie:
One of my mates suggested it may be the cv joint as he had something simmilar
on his car. Does this sound like a possibility to people and if so
how easy would it me for me to check it and then fix if needed.
Cheers

Sounds like the CV joint mate. I had something similar 20 years ago with my Golf GLi, not too difficult to fix, couple of hours in slow time I would think.
