Knocking noise??

[TommyG]

Hey guys, I'm experiencing a big knocking sound when I turn the wheel and accelerate. I'm guessing it's cv joints? If anyone knows or has an idea of what it could be. Please let me know. Anyone selling a set or cvs for it as I'll replace it this week?

Forgot to add, the knocking sound is coming from the left front wheel.

probably the cv's as you said, does it shudder?

Wheels bolts tight?

Yeah it was the cv, snapped this afternoon reversing out of my driveway, anyone know where I can get them cheap as a set from the uk or can recommend a website?? Cheers

... it snapped!?

[TommyG]

It's snapped off the joint in the wheel. Just ordered 2 brand new drive shafts so that should fix it.

A snapped CV??!!!!!
It must've been making a clicking noise for a long time to get to that point!! You sure its not a failed wheel bearing?

Try hsy autoparts. They will have wheel bearings and cv's.

All fixed now guys, Was the driveshaft, Feels alot better now!

Would have thought it was cv shaft because when you were turning the car clicks, but any ways good to hear everything is working
