RE: Odd noise help
Thanks Nate,
I could really use it to be a cheap fix, our second child is due next week. I am going to have a look tonight.
Cheers
Iain

or right (it is worse when I turn it to the left), it's a kind of wop wop sound. I get a small amount of vibration through the wheel at the same time. At lower speeds I don't hear or feel nothing at all, I got the wheels re balanced at the same time. Any ideas???? Seems like I swap one problem
for another at the moment, ISV last week this week a mystery noise, I wonder what next week will bring????
Pobably a lighter wallet, your problem sounds like it could be a CV
joint gone south. I have had the same experiances your are
describing in other cars of mine, drive straight=no nooise, turna
little get some thumping and the faster the harder, etc..
Good luck, hope its something simpler/cheaper (ie. loose lugs..)
Later,
