Any help please!....strange noise...

[kwingy1]

Hi guys,

I am hearing this strange noise coming from the right side of my clio everytime I turn/steer left whilst driving. Turning right is fine.
It sounds like a whirling mechnical noise....possible from my front right wheel though I am not sure on this.
Anyone have any ideas as what this could be?...the noise doesn't exactly sound life threatening but is kinda annoying all the same...please help.

Many thanks for your help in advance....

Sounds like the same problem I had back in September but mine was when I was turning right.

IIRC I think it was the CV joint. It wasn't a big job to get fixed tho

That could be cv joint or wheel bearing, dont think anything more than that. Its not life threatining but you should sort it out. CV joint is the joint that connects the drive shaft to the gearbox to put it in simple terms, where the wheel bearing is in the wheel hub and lets the wheel rotate.
