In the snowy weather recently i got the wheels spinning somewhat and i noticed that there was a nocking coming from the front passenger side wheel, just wanted to now if anyones had this or now what it mite be ?
Thanks

More than likely your mani banging on your heat shield. Not a major issue. I think the fix is new engine mounts but might be wrong

i get that alot i just thought it was the car bouncing and the hits the ground

they all do it. Forget about fixing it. Renault sucks.

you need powerflex products all around inc dogbone ARB bushing etc.

I have the powerflex dogbone bushing and my car never does it.

Normal.

Is it normal though?? My car doesn't do it and iv not updated my mounts or anything? Agree it's nothing to worry about but surely it isn't normal?

check the driveshafts. if they're ok then probably the mounts or one of them is gone.
I have the k-tec solid ones plus powerflex dog bone bushes and there is absolutely no knocking (before that I had massive knocking under acceleration in 1st gear).you'll just have to put up with the extra vibration though

Both my cups have done it but only when the wheels spin excessively and it's not every time. Think it's called axel tramp or something isn't it?

Axle tramp. The wheels bouncing up and down as they lose traction.

It's a french version of vtec.

Surely the easy way to fix this would be not to wheel spin? :rasp:

Class.

That would be an idea. I never wheelspin my car, unless its by accident if you get caught out in the rain or snow/ice. I used to wheelspin my 1.2 like mad. Dread to think how much strain it puts on the clutch, 'box and general drivetrain though. Hence why I don't do it in the 172.
