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

Re: Knocking from Passenger Front Wheel
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
