When turning right, at 30mph im hearing clicking noise from the front end
or going slow turning left in full lock
clicking clicking !!
Is that, cv joint, driveshaft or wheel bearing??
Help please!
so annoying!

 

When I had this on a past car it was the driveshaft that was on its way out.
I've had a wheel bearing go on mine and it was more of a metallic "wur wur wur wur" humming noise - and I didn't have to turn to reproduce it.

any more advise?

 

sounds like the cv

 

It could be either the bearing or the shaft I'm afraid.

Both can cause a clicking when turning, you could try checking to see if there is any play in the bearing (there should be nothing at all) & if there is then you have found your problem, this unfortunately is not definative as we have had bearings that feel ok but have ended up being the offending item.

If you can't physicaly find anything that is obvious then i'm afraid you are going to have to toss a coin or borrow a driveshaft from someone to try it.

Would you think a new driveshaft would last 8 months?
I had a new driveshaft fitted in Jan and its the left side again
Thanks for helping
I need to take it to a garage to check

 

A drive shaft should last a shed load longer than 9 months!!

Seeing as it's had a shaft I would put my money on the bearing being faulty, you have to be one very unlucky person to have a new d/shaft fail so quickly, these things normaly last for years or even for the life of the car.

I must be very unlucky, I only drive weekend and its under 23K
Cost me £***+ for new driveshaft supply+fitted
Thanks For helping out

 

A driveshaft should last longer than that, however had a toyota yaris drive shaft and that was installed dry, that lasted two years though.

Your symptoms sound more bearing failure than shaft, however just to let you know that the scooby can trash the hub if you have had a failed bearing in for any great length of use.
