#1: Knocking when turning. Author: TonkaTruck, Location: SunderlandPosted: Tue Nov 08, 2011 5:07 pm ---- First off, just like to introduce myself as I am new to this forum.
I do not own a Peugeot 206 myself, but on the plus side. I still own a French car.
Renault Clio dCi 100 - Remapped to 125bhp.
My sister has a Peugeot 206 1.5? Diesel HDI and the girlfriend has a 206 1.1 Petrol Look. If this forum is like any other forum I have been on, then 'No your not getting any picture's'
Any ways, get back on track.
When steering the 206 Look, it make's a clunking noise. I have read about and heard it could be the Link Rods, Engine Mount's or CV Joint.
Am also guessing from what I have read, you can check it is the CV joint's by driving round in circles with full lock on.
If it is not the CV joint's is there any other way to determine, if it is engine mounts or link rods?
Am no expert on Peugeot's, what do you guy's think it is?
Sorry if this question has been asked plenty of times.
Cheers in advance.

How can I tell if it is this, and what's it like to replace?
#3: Re: Knocking when turning. Author: Ste, Location: Hull -or- The World Of Info CodePosted: Tue Nov 08, 2011 5:53 pm ---- Does it clunk at a certain turning distance, IE towards full lock, and just once twice each turn or is it a clunk clunk clunk clunk the whole time your turned and in the same steering position. (Stupidly awkward to describe lol)
The top mount bearings are not all that hard to change if I'm honest, I've personally done mine twice now Once because I had to, the 2nd time just because I was rebuilding the suspension and thought I might as well do it while I've got it all out lol..
If it was the link rod's (Droplinks) they'd also be clunking over slight bumps and humps in the raod from experience, but to test them it's pretty easy, just get under the car and push upwards on the links, and also wobble them around, if they're shot they'll clunk/click/pah.. Just put the car up on some ramps, or even a wheel up on the curb will do it aslong as the wheels are on something solid to put the normal driving pressure on the links.
P.S. Welcome, and get ready for the pictures comments
#4: Re: Knocking when turning. Author: TonkaTruck, Location: SunderlandPosted: Tue Nov 08, 2011 6:31 pm ---- Cheers for the reply Ste, It's like a clunk clunk noise, at no specific point.
Is it right that, if you get someone to turn left - right on the wheel and look at the spring to see if it goes, clunk clunk, then it's the top mount bearings?
I'll check the Droplinks tomorrow, to me it all points to the top mount bearings.
Where would you recommend buying these's from? I see they are on FleeBay for £9.95 each. But would preferably buy them from a shop.
If anyone require's pictures, this is all your getting.
#5: Re: Knocking when turning. Author: Ste, Location: Hull -or- The World Of Info CodePosted: Tue Nov 08, 2011 6:39 pm ---- Yeah you can usually see the spring 'skip' if the topmount bearings are dry They seem to hold there position very slightly then 'spring' to where they should be as it clunks while turning.
If it clunks at a standstill it sounds very likely to be the topmount bearings are shot, that or the balljoint on the wishbone, but it's more than likely the topmounts..
I usually get most if not all of my parts from Peugeot (I've got a local JCT600 Pug spares garage close by) failing that try eurocarparts online
P.S. It's cool, I've already seen pictures mwahahahah! lol
#6: Re: Knocking when turning. Author: copey, Location: rochdalePosted: Tue Nov 08, 2011 7:23 pm ---- when mine did a similar thing, was generally towards the end of full lock when stationary/ slow moving although not every time it was the top mount bearings
#7: Re: Knocking when turning. Author: ronnie, Location: LanarksPosted: Wed Nov 09, 2011 7:12 am ---- I had this noise on a wee Saxo and it turned out to be a broken front spring and shock
#8: Re: Knocking when turning. Author: TonkaTruck, Location: SunderlandPosted: Sat Nov 26, 2011 12:37 pm ---- Looking to finally get some new top mount's, wondered if anyone could point me in the right direction.
Also will I need to get some spring compressors to change them, or does anyone have a guide which I can follow?
Cheers
#9: Re: Knocking when turning. Author: kirsteyjames, Location: rhondda, south walesPosted: Sat Nov 26, 2011 1:30 pm ---- I had this on my 1.4 it was the droplinks. I had them changed 3 times in 2 years (2 mot failures) and they werent the cheap ones off ebay.

What the hell where you doing to go through that many drop links?
Last changed mine back in 2005 for genuine Peugeot parts & there still fine now.

I don't know :S Pressure on the bonnet lmao. Lots of potholes in the rhondda
#12: Re: Knocking when turning. Author: Teebag, Location: exhall, bedworth, coventryPosted: Mon Nov 28, 2011 6:08 am ---- i've got the same issue atm, i'm going to replace the top mount bearings and the drop links. i'm just hoping i've not done anymore wishbone damage.....
#13: Re: Knocking when turning. Author: NorthantsBen, Location: Raunds, NorthamptonshirePosted: Mon Nov 28, 2011 6:31 am ---- My bet is top mount bearings
#14: Re: Knocking when turning. Author: melanciauk, Location: Cambridge - United KingdomPosted: Wed Apr 17, 2013 7:20 am ---- Let me steal the topic and resurrect the dead...
I'm having a similar problem (probably). I can hear a knock coming from the rear wheels when steering. It's a single one, no matter which side I turn, and happens most of the time when it's stationary and I reverse/steer to hit the road.
Could it be one of these mentioned problems? Top mount bearings, drop links, wishbone? If so, on how much I would bleed my wallet to get it fixed?
