Loud knocking - Cameron UK - 21:st-Sep-2014 So I've got a loud knocking coming from the front right wheel, seems to mainly happen when accelerating, revving stood still is fine. Does it whatever direction of wheels, quite loud, nothing loose that I can see. HELP! Loud knocking - Rusty2009 - 21:st-Sep-2014 Could be a wheel baring Sent from my iPhone 5c using Tapatalk. Loud knocking - Cameron UK - 21:st-Sep-2014 Even though it only happens when accelerating? Sounds pretty metal if you know what I mean, not nice Loud knocking - Rusty2009 - 21:st-Sep-2014 I'd say pop it in a garage ASAP for a free inspection mate Sent from my iPhone 5c using Tapatalk. Loud knocking - tucpal - 21:st-Sep-2014 as above mate and i would not waste anytime getting there Loud knocking - Cameron UK - 21:st-Sep-2014 tucpal Wrote:as above mate and i would not waste anytime getting there Booked in tomorrow, what noise did your car make when cv had gone? Loud knocking - SI SRI - 21:st-Sep-2014 Mate when my cv joint went on the left side it was a hollow knocking noise. Drove me mental. Loud knocking - tucpal - 22:nd-Sep-2014 more of a click on my car but a knock when pulling off could be a number of things and as your car is a cat d it needs to be checked over quiseng won't help at all Loud knocking - Cameron UK - 22:nd-Sep-2014 tucpal Wrote:more of a click on my car That's the corner it had the bump on as well, will see at 5pm Loud knocking - Cameron UK - 24:th-Sep-2014 Took it to the garage (my luck it had stopped making the noise) both cv joints that side were split so hopefully the problem is the joint, got a new one coming from Ireland for £90. Loud knocking - tucpal - 24:th-Sep-2014 did you get the whole shaft this does seem to be a common problem on the j i think the shaft is a bit too long my self but sure you will get it sorted. Loud knocking - Cameron UK - 24:th-Sep-2014 Yeh from gear box to hub, Vauxhall said it is most likely the issue due to the cv boot leak. Wouldn't be covered under warranty as that's where it had its crash, this kinda thing u have to expect with a cat D Loud knocking - tucpal - 24:th-Sep-2014 yep but still nothing that major it should be back to normal soon Loud knocking - Cameron UK - 24:th-Sep-2014 Just noticed it doesn't happen when in neutral, not sure if if it's gonna be the drive shaft? Maybe cos it's the shaft it's under power when in neutral? Loud knocking - tucpal - 24:th-Sep-2014 you would only get a knock or click when in drive it will be a cv joint on the shaft neutral has no effect on the drive shaft at all what do you mean under power ?

Loud knocking - tucpal - 25:th-Sep-2014 correct for a minute i thought you were saying it was knocking in neutral never mind you will have it sorted out soon it probably just had a knock on the wheel when it was banged Loud knocking - Rusty2009 - 28:th-Sep-2014 Cam have you got it fixed yet? Loud knocking - tucpal - 28:th-Sep-2014 NOPE.. not done yet Loud knocking - Cameron UK - 29:th-Sep-2014 Rusty2009 Wrote:Cam have you got it fixed yet? Part arrived today, hopefully Wednesday get it fitted Loud knocking - Rusty2009 - 14:th-Oct-2014 Is it all fixed now? Sent from my iPhone 5c using Tapatalk. Loud knocking - Cameron UK - 14:th-Oct-2014 Not yet, hadn't had the noise in a while, new drive shaft had a split cv boot as well! Seller had bought a brand new one from vx and is in the post, should have it fitted Saturday |
