Loud knocking noise from front when i turn....

[sambo_clio_rsi]

Hmmm, this is odd... When i come up to corners (mainly round-a-bouts and sharp junctions) i turn the steering wheel to not even full lock and the front,, well actually the whole car knocks, bangs, juders, does all of that anyway.. I dont have a clue what it could be...Any ideas before i take it to a garage?

Edit: Also sometimes pops out of gear when it happens!

Oh right ok, how much of a job did it turn out to be? And how much rougly spent getting it fixed?

Ok your right, the front right wheel is spinning, but still...WHY? Im not exactly hammering it round corners or junctions just your not pull out manovor! What could it be? Is it normal? My dad said could it be because its a 1.8!? But still, its just normal slow driving :S

I had similar problem on mine, see if the anti roll bar bolt hasn’t eroded snapped off.

Problem solved....drivers side drive shaft has gone, getting it fixed today, but :quiet:... Not cheap!

Think I have the beginning of this problem on the near side, but not as much as you. I can just hear a clicking noise on *hard* RH cornering.

How much is not cheap if you don't mind me asking? (PM if preferred?)

Well it came to £155, £75 for new drive shaft, think garage was about £30 per hr labour, took few hours. Though there is still a problem, the last person removed the exhaust and fitted another one for some reason but the wrong one so the down-pipe is hitting the drive shaft so it could go again!
