another problem with my clio

[dombanks]

i got this clunking sound starting to eminate from the front of my clio. it only happens when i put full lock on and move off, like manouvering in a car park.

its been suggested its the CV joint. any other ideas?

does anyone know where to get a new one from or how to test to see if it is this?

[Jace]

CV Joint sounds right to me, I had a very similar problem in a Fiesta many many years ago. Turning left and it used to knock louder than a knocky thing! :-)

One assumes you can buy those from any reputable parts place (and some not so reputable ones)...

thanks jace,

would anybody know what type of drive shaft a 1.2 sreg 1998 (non abs) Mk 2 clio has? the 2 motor factors ive phoned have both said i cant buy a cv joint on its own it has to be a joint and drive shaft package and i need to know what type it is either a push summat or a glide summat? sorry cant remember the exact names as i couldnt write it down. either way tehy cost £68 +vat

just phoned another place and the differnce is one is spring loaded and the other is a guide pin ?? what ever they are

Had the same probelm with an AX a few years ago , worse knocking turing left than right. Got replacement shafts form Euro Car Parts. They can uasually tell the correct part from your car reg on their data base.
