"Clonking" noise from steering

Morning all

Searching through the previous forum posts, I've read different types of noises being described, but none that describe or match the noise I'm experiencing!!

It only occurs occasionally, but whenever I full lock right and drive off, I hear a type of clicking / "clonking" noise. I'm certain its coming from the footwell area in the drivers side ?? ( oh, and I'm running standard 18" hurricans during the winter)

I've had a look around the wheel arch but nothing is catching anything , I'm at a total loss :alien:

Has anyone experienced this or know what it is ?

Regards

CV joint?

I'd concurr with that. Also try reversing with full lock. For some reason, that tends to show up more than going forwards.

Cheers guys

Will have a look tonite

-anybody know the cost of this? and is it dangerous to drive? has been doing this for a few weeks now?

I'll asume its a MOT failure!!

Not necessarily a fail unless its leaking oil and/or about to fall apart. Typically a CV joint will just get noisier until one day.........

Island 4x4 do them for £35 each. Be as well doing both fronts at same time.
