knocking noise when turning phase 1 rs

[sinkyd1inky]

Hi I have searched but cant find the cure for this problem on my phase 1 rs clio, when I steer left or right at low speeds I get a clonking noise like something wants to snap, and I thinks its got slightly worse, oh why did I sell my 306 gti 6 and buy a frog again :clown: , not to say I dont like my 172 I love it :race:

sounds like it could be driveshaft/CV joint.

How would I be sure, as to which one to replace

Take it to a garage.

I do have good mechanic local, but He only fixes my car if I know what the problem is and I supply the parts, will both noises (cv/shaft) sound alike, any help would be nice guys

If he's any good he can tell.

You can usualy tel the shafts just take the wheel off and have a look at the gaiter and try shke the shaft up and down etc if there play its worn get a new one.

For the bearing easy way to tell is try shake it at the 3 and 9 and then the 6 and 12 postions in and out see if theres play.
