CV joints in the front axle ???

if you have gig tyres they could be catching the radius arms, like mine where lol

It's yer CV joints.
It shouldn't do it, but if it's only on full lock don't worry yet. It'll go on fer ages before they give up completely.

what will cost to get cv joints fixed

Trewey · Feb 6, 2010

depends.
if you do it yerself about 35 quid a side.

stealers would probly charge 2 hours labour per side plus their stoopid parts prices.
