Hi all, I've recently notice that when I full lock my car I.e coming out a parking space or turning full lock , if im going slow. If I press the brake and come to a stop I'm getting some awfull banging clunking noise from my o/s/f wheel , I've recently just changed 2 front wheel bearings and it's has spacers fitted on the front , the spacers and wheel bearing have been on for a few weeks and the noise has only just started , just wondering if anyone has any idea. It sound very tingy when it's banging....
Mk7.5 golf gtd , thankyou

Welcome Dunny :smiley:
With all the various pivot points and moving parts surrounding the front suspension on a FWD car it can be a bit of a minefield tracking down a specific noise.
First thing I’d be looking at is whether it’s the tyre catching on the arch liner bearing in mind you’re running spacers and it only does it with lock applied at low speeds.
What wheels/offset are you running and what size spacers? Is the car lowered?
