Knocking from Passenger Front Wheel

Post by Gary Gee »

right i have a knock

it only happens over small bumps when going slow

and when i put my foot down i can hear like a faint knock knock knock constantly

its not the drive shaft before people say it tho as its a brand new (wey reconned)

i also know my bearing is gone (only realised after spending nearly 200 quid on second hand shafts and finnally a new one)

could this be making a knocking sound??

or could it be my gear box.. as i may of knocked it fitting the shaft

Thanks in advance

did you replace the CV joint too or just the shaft? A buggered bearing could cause many sounds, but I wouldnt say knocking is one of them. More likely to be a buggered top mount
