Noise!! Help!



  Clio 197 Cup
Have noticed for while now that when I go around bends at any speed, to the left, I have this loud knocking noise (metal on metal) and passenger can feel it in the floor plate and i can feel it in the steering.
Its spent 2 days in garage and had full service mot etc, all parts stripped down cleaned and no fault has been found, it wasnt renault that did it, was a local guy who been in business for 30 odd years and was head tech for bmw so he knows his s**t!

It only does this when turning left, going right, forwards or back is fine, just left!

I took wheel off and took few snaps see if any of you's can see anything out of place or f**ked up, cos i cant!

Ok so thats those! Then i got my head under to see if anythin obvious was wrong under there!

Im unsure whether its supposed to be this loose but . . . this is the gear control with me puttin a lil bit of movement on it, then shakin it lol . . .

i think it may be the spring mate. From the picture you can see that it has been "cleaned" on one side. Unless you have been touching it etc it may have been rubbing or hitting on something as it looks like an aftermarket part

yeah that clean bit was from me grabbing it to see if that was loose, it wasnt!
They are aftermarket, 60mm Pi springs

i'd say it was the lower ARB bush, looks a bit loose and the rubbers look knackered. pennys to fit even if its not and at least you can rule that out then :)

i had the same problem on my car too and this fixed it :)

TBH it sounds like a knackered CV joint to me I had exactly the same symtoms on my same car. I had snapped one of the CV balls off!! Did the guy check this?
