Any idea what this noise could be?

LOK · May 26, 2020

Hi - car has developed a knocking since front suspension was changed recently. The car also had all belts replaced. Attached a video. All help appreciated. Thank you!

Does it do that noise at random times? As in you can be accelerating or coasting along and even when braking?

Sounds driveshaft related to me - though I'm sure more knowledgeable people will respond soon.

It comes up if I go off the throttle

My gearbox sounded like that - https://cliosport.net/threads/box-clutch-issue.827893/#post-11781094

Sounds like a wheel is loose.

Louis · May 26, 2020

Definitely sounds more like box problems. Try clutch in/ out and under/off load.

Just double check everything is tight before running down the rabbit hole of broken box.

What was changed on the Suspension?

JamesBryan · May 26, 2020

Sounds like a very solid knock to me!

Something is loose.

I agree

To my shame I have to admit that one of the front wheels was veeeeery loose... thanks all for your input. Thank God I didn't come off driving and thank God it didn't cost a single penny to repair!

It's almost like diagnosing over the internet isnt really possible with very little information 😂

It's the equivalent of going to the doctor and saying "I'm in pain"

And not describing anything other than screaming "OOOOOUUUUUUCCCCCCCHHHHHHHHHHH" over and over 😂

To be fair to the OP he did give a description AND a vid of the noise which is more than 99% of people do on forums when they have a mystery knock.

Exactly. And a couple of people in this thread diagnosed it correctly, i.e had a bloody good guess 🤣

Touring_Rob · May 28, 2020

No guesses - everyone who diagnosed that noise has first hand not done up a wheel properly and knows what it sounds like!

Just like when peoples cars cutout randomly and they can't work it out - everyone who replies with "are you sure you didn't run out of petrol" has had it happen to them some time in the past too haha.
