knocking noise when turning right
- Thread starter Greeny.
- Start date
mine did this, but my engine mounts were loose apparently.
i thought that it was the cv joint and booked it in for a new one but my mounts were loose from when I had my clutch done.
not there now, quiet as a mouse
mine just did it on full lock going round right bends, only when on full lock though!
your obviosly throwing it round bends arent you! lol!

I was wondering if it was the exhaust knocking? Think mine's doing that 
You only hear it turning right because it's only knocking when the joint is bent that way, it's quite normal for CV joints to fail in that way, it's probably split open as GavFre said. The fact it knocks regardless of how hard you're driving makes it more likely it is the CV joint, as your wheels are always turning 
I'm guessing the frequency of the knock varies with the speed you're going?
Of course it *could* be something else, but a knackered CV joint is the most likely explanation, you ought to be able to inspect it yourself without too much bother I would have thought to avoid extra garage costs if it's not that, but don't hold me to that as I've never looked at one on a Clio...
