Hi Guys

I have a widetrack blob, went to a multi story car park yesterday, and while going up the ramps noticed a knocking coming from the front left wheel, would this be the cv joint?

Thanks

could be cv joint if regular tick tick noise . If it knocks going over bumps and ramps, could be anti roll bar bushes or top mount bearing . CV joints are normally worse when turning and quiet on the straight unless very badly worn

I had the same problem earlier this year and it turned out to be the front near side wheel bearing on its way out. Andy

Wheel bearing is normally more of a whirring that gets louder the faster you go as it gets worse and is normally noticeable on full lock.
My STI sounded like there was a bloody UFO chasing it when I was going down the motorway, and I had it swiftly replaced after that!
CV joints click apparently although my old WRX one didn't it just lost fluid as the boot had failed - easy way of telling is get underneath and have a look.
Knocking can be all manner of things, from loose hub nuts to suspension, loose items in the engine bay and all sort of other bits and pieces.

On my widetrack I had a similar knocking noise at the front and it was a loose hub nut, which according to the dealer, does happen on occassion.

Similar problem on mine. Knocking noise when turning right at slow speeds. I've jacked it up and tried the wheel to check for any play and nothing.

Try jacking up the front end ,on axle stands . Use a crowbar or similar to move and check for excessive movement. doesnt sound like a bad bearing but a worn bush. Check on top mount fr loose nuts .
