Its a straight forward job, but the shock absorbers are a pain to get back in unless you have some shortened shocks

#10: Re: knocking when turn steering wheel Author: dalton-gti-180, Location: hampshirePosted: Fri Apr 01, 2011 3:56 pm ---- usually would be top mount bearings try getting some one to turn left to right and look at the spring see if it clunks then clunks again just sorted it on my coilovers sweet as a nut now but as T_bandery said its a pain in the ass lol

Can't feel anything through the steering and there's no noise until you turn the steering wheel.

Starts with just one as your going to full lock, then you get 3-4 as they get worse lol.

#14: Re: knocking when turn steering wheel Author: Ste, Location: Hull -or- The World Of Info CodePosted: Thu Apr 21, 2011 3:54 pm ---- Hmmmmmm, it's still a possibility and usually the problem when it comes to knocks, but doing it when you just start to turns abit eek! lol
Dont think it'll be the CV joints, turning the wheels that little doesnt move them that much does it?!
How's the balljoints on the wishbones? Also the droplinks could be shot as they move quite alot when turning - well they twist at the joints, I've had droplinks fail after about 15000 miles.
#15: Re: knocking when turn steering wheel Author: Ali_H, Location: Chichester, SussexPosted: Thu Apr 21, 2011 3:56 pm ---- I'm not sure, i'll take a look over the weekend. It only happened tonight and cba to have a proper look straight away as it doesn't get driven that much.
