Lude Generation

Hello got another slight problem with the lude it seem to have developed a knocking noise when turning right only. I managed to get the car on axle stands and have a look, and noticed when the passenger wheel is rotated back and forth there is a noise also found play in driveshaft could this be the cv joint thanks dan

Yeah it sounds like a cv joint, or inner joint maybe. I had the same problem in my bb3 except when turning left at slow speeds. It happened after I changed cv boots which involved removing the driveshafts, but when putting it all back I snapped one of the roller bearings on the inner joint & had to replace it. I also had to hammer it quite hard to get it back into the hub so may have damaged the cv joint doing that. Anyway, my problem started occurring after that but I couldn't tell which of those two things caused it.

If you replace the full shaft it should solve the problem if it is either one of those things. You can probably pick a used one up for cheap enough.

You can replace just the cv joint rather than the whole shaft. They are reasonably priced and not to hard to do yourself.

Messy though
