knocking noise from front passenger wheel.

[dylan8]

doesnt seem to do it when coasting (in or out of gear), and havnt notched when doing engine braking.
Seemed to just be under acceleration or loading (like when driving up hill at a consistant speed)

Could be a driveshaft or cv then under load, hard without hearing it and is only online diagnosis, get someone to check her out mate
Good luck

Thanks for the help Jmac.
Got Volkspower checking it out wednesday so hopefully can get it stored before Nationals

Hope it's sorted before hand, would live to see this at Nats

Volkspower checked over the car during my service. split control arm bush passenger front. passenger front coilover spring seems to have failed and no longer as long as the drivers side (car still sits level tho...). so i guess its a bit of a waiting game until something breaks!

Bent strut dude, I've had the same problem more than once on different cars, everything else is the after effect.

With the inner cv housing, it tends to wear out and cause play, and this play is evident when accelerating and coasting. Inner cv's cannot be tested by full lock, only way is to change them. No guarantee that this is the problem but I had this in my Mk3.

hmm but wouldnt it make noise all the time? or atleast when the wheels a turned either way?

yeah pretty sure its CV or bearings now.
Swapped wheels and hardware over and sound is still there. cant see anything out of the norm in regards to hubs/brakes/driveshaft

The inner cv is always running straight, never turns........maybe the slight angle on a bump etc. They most times never make a noise. If u take the cv boot off you will notice round burnt marks on the metal cv housing from the ball bearings over heating. that is a sign that they are worn.

Sounds like axle bind to me, try losening your engine mount bolts and try shifting your engine to the drivers side. Might not fix it, but it's a free solution. Worked for me.

[dylan8]

well Volkwerke went over lots of things on the car.
doesn't seem to be a bearing, subframe bolts are all nice and tight, only 1 control arm bush has just split.
so currently thinking cv joint or just my coilovers just getting old.

You gonna have it sorted for nats?
