clonking noise which progresses when taking left corner

[MARTEN]

My Tuscan has developed a clonking noise since 2 days which got worse so now cabin parts starting to vibrate
at first i thought one of the tyres had picked up a stone in the profile which is not the case, the tyres are fine
the noise dissapears when taking a left corner and progresses when taking a right corner
you will hear it as soon as the wheels start rolling

has somebody had the same experience

many thanks, Marten

Sounds like a cv joint may be on it's way out.

[MARTEN]

is there an easy way to check a cv joint, ik know how to detect a worn bearing, but how do you know a cv joint is worn

[rens914]

sounds absolutely stupid but did you check the tightening of your wheel nuts.
picked my car up from the dealer lately and after a short while i heard a noise and the backside went wobbely. They had forgotten to tighten the wheelnuts on the left rear side

Marten,

Is the sound coming from the rear or front ?

In case of rear I would suspect the following
Wheel nuts
CV joint (rattling sound, the speed of rattling varies consistant with car speed, every wheel turn gives the same amount of rattles)
Wish bone bushes (cloinking, irregular, should also appear on a bad road)
Wheel bearing


In case of front :
Wheel nuts
Ball joints
Wheel bearing

thanks for your advice guys!

all is sorted, it was the front nearside wheel, loose nuts
cheapest repair i've ever come across

stupid of me i didn't check them in the first place

have a nice weekend all

@ Ron, i saw you just imported your Tuscan, hope you'll enjoy it as much as i do

Marten,

Luckily, that's the easy way out.
How did you know about my Tussie ?
I'm stil waiting for douane to determine how much BPM should be payed.
Then I hope to get my registration papers quickly. Can't wait to drive it.

Ronald.

Hi Ronald,

when somebody needs information about BPM it can only in one country
but have you not just handed the douane a dutch registration number
this is what i did and job done in 5 minutes
you will find plenty examples on www,auotgespot.nl

the roar of the speedsix is so impressive each time and therefore turns a lot of heads
make sure you have (if not allready) carboncans fitted for the xtra rumble

hey Marten
sometimes problems are very easy to fix
have you checked the wiring (thread) of the bolt's for damage ?
