knock knock

[wickford90]

Not who's there, but wheres it from.
got a knock from front drivers side sounds like a stone in the tyre but a hollow metallic sound. can hear it in drive or coasting at low speed. Have just replaced all ujs and front bearings in last couple of months, jacked up front and span wheel by hand but could hear nothing.
Could this be a cv going.
any ideas
Thanks

Sounds like what I had and was cv joint

Or swivel gone?

forgive my ignorance on these things, i know the basics but swivel gone? bit over my head.

I meant swivel ball but just checked and that issue was the cv joint

did you fix it or did garage do it. dont mind having a go but as usual bit short on time.
just gonna see if buster has a how to do it page.

I did get a garage to do it but, with Busters guide I would give it a go now as like most issues ona 90, its not rocket science but with the right tools, time, and remembering what came off and when, money can be saved.

Might be a bit late but I changed the swivels on mine as the bearing was knackered and wheel was wobbly, not a big job, make sure u got a heat gun, decent socket set and spanners, a pry bar and a helper is useful, took me 4 hours on the first one(learning curve), second one took just over an hour, best to swap them as a pair
