Hopefully somebody will have come across this before, I'm not technical so keep it simple please

I'm getting a noise when turning, no noise when driving straight but it's there when turning either left or right and it gets faster in line with the speed of the car.

It's coming from the front end, seems to be near the wheels & sounds like something is catching, best way I can describe it is like a cracking noise, very similar to a ratchet noise.

I'm thinking maybe a dry or knackered CV joint perhaps but not too sure

Anybody got any ideas?

 

CV joint

 

DEFO CV JOINT

 

Sounds like the same noise i was having, it turned out to be the wheel baring.

JAC

 

Wheel bearings tend to make a droning noise under load ie when turning.... cv joints on the other hand do knock when they are on the way out,so the clicking noise would seem to be the cv joint.

 

cheers for the replies guys

best get it booked in for a new un then

 

sounds like the wheel bearing,had same problem,i thought it was the cv but wasnt,do you get a grinding sound when u turn ??
