Hello, slight issue with my car which has a few different garages baffled. Wondering if anyone has experienced similiar to me.
When turning the wheel to the left when driving anywhere from 10mph upwards a rumble noise comes from the front left wheel?
Had it off and had a good look around but can't see anything out of the ordinary
Cheers
Jack

I doubt it'll be the wheel bearing if the noise is coming from the left.

I literally just had the problem occur - I was turning into a side street, fully locked to the left, and had a knocking noise come from the front-left wheel. I tried it again when turning into my drive and it happened again.
Have you got anywhere with the problem?

I would go with the CV joint, sounds the same as mine used to be, its the easiest of the two drive shafts to change

Is it expensive/difficult to replace a CV joint on a 206?

I pretty sure you have to replace the drive shaft, its about and hour job at a garage. you have to refill the gearbox with fluid after its poured out from removing the shaft. maybe a good idea to do the seal too in the diff.

| You can only plan so far, after that you have to take a few leaps of faith.

If u fancy doing it yourself get a complete shaft from a scrappy...it works out cheaper than doing the joint alone...check it for play when u buy it...they should have decent ones already off the cars...also buy a ball joint seperator for about £9 to save lots of time...the tool shop should tell u how to use it...if its not obdvious...
