Knocking on full lock at low speed

[manojlovb]

Hi,

When i get in the car and say pull out of a parking space or do a turn on full lock i get a knocking noise when i move. also if i put full lock on whilst not moving sometimes it scretches but only once and then its quiet? sounds strange what do you think?

cheers

I'm getting the knocking noise on full lock at low speeds aswell, also the front suspension is creaking at low speeds on full lock presuming this is top mount or suspension arm, any ideas on the knocking though?

lol its a 'feature' of the clio, the strut top is basically an oversized pole with a rubber top, which moves hence the 'knock' on full lock.
Can be fixed with a spacer / washers (search for the post by fred) or by completely replacing the strut top ( see ben_p threads re a group buy of them)

The washer fix essentially stops any excess movementin the top mount
