violent Steering "Kick-back" and loud clunking on turning!

[eltax91]

Hi folks, my octavia TDi 110 is having alittle trouble. Between 40 and 60 MPH, and on light throttle only, the steering wheel is giving a violent kick back and vibration. If you give it half throttle or more it's not noticable. then, when turning right into my street it made a loud clucking noise, like something was going back into place.

My first thoughts are drive shaft inner joint or CV outer joint. So, any other thoughts? I have about 1500 miles to cover for work thsi week, so I expect i'll spend some of it on an AA truck!

CV joint or suspension woes afoot. Thottle changes will put strain on it and cause noises. Check everything is ok wishbone, droplink bushes wise too.

good luck with drive to work
