intermittant clonk
« on: 17 November 2004, 19:42 »
Keep getting a intermittent "clonk" at full lock sometimes on my 1991 16v.
seems to be getting louder as the months progress.
any ideas?

worn outer cv's will give you a constant clicking noise

an intermittent clonk can be caused my numerous things. its just a case of jacking the car up and going thru every nut & bush and checking their condition
