Hey guys, got a persistant clunking noise thats driving me bonkers. It appears to be coming from the drivers side front footwell. The CV gaiter is split and has been awaiting replacement for a couple of months now so was wondering if it was the cv joint that's worn out due to having no grease. Failing that, i was wondering if it might be the wishbone ball joint as it seems to buzz/knock when driving in a straight line down the motorway as well.
Symptoms are that when entering a roundabout a little to enthusiastically it'll knock/buzz when going round or pulling off the roundabout. It knocks/buzzes if i pull away in too low of a gear without enough revs. Dropping down a gear with too high revs causes a knock. Driving down the motorway at 65mph is fine but at between 70-80mph it knocks and thumps over any slight bump in the road. Sometimes just pulling away normally causes the knocks/buzzing. It also seems to be harder to make knock when the engine is cold, but after driving 5-10 miles and having it knock a couple of times it'll knock literally everytime i pull away unless i'm super careful pulling away.
