Knock on Full lock ?

[Sipha]

If I'm maneuvering and hit full lock I occasionally get a knock/creak from the drivers side front somewhere.

Car is a PH2 172.

Any Ideas ?

strut tops (common problem) or cv joint

anti roll bar linkages? especially if your car has been lowered. Mine were shagged after about 2 days of lowering it. replaced them and its been fine ever since!

I'm having the same issues on my 182FF.
How much would I be looking at to get it sorted?
PS does it make a massive amount of difference if I just leave it

Car is completely standard, only get the creak when I'm reversing or pulling off on full lock, Top mounts sounds feasable, I'll try the washer fix first.

dont bother. biggest waste of time going. small bit of grinding and it's solved

Really ?

What has to be ground away, the strut tops themselves ?

Bit reluctant to start grinding away at the body work, I may try the washers first, if that doesnt work then I'll look at the grinder

renault solution. I've removed washers due to them causing worse knocks and more play

Interesting, so the washers may actually make things worse !

I might just leave it then to be honest it only knocks very occasionally when on lock, presumebly wont cause any harm left ?

Cheers
