strange clicking noise when driving

[GTIcheeseman]

Right my golf has got a clicking noise when driving.
It sounds like when there's a stone in the tyre but I have checked them and checked all the brakes.
I checked the drive shafts and there was something rubbing but moved it and it's still doing it

Could anyone else think of something?

It's only when moving it's not so loud going straight louder when turning left and doesn't make a noise going right . I can't see the wheel touching anything either

Anyone else got an idea?



UPDATED

replaced the drive shaft saturday and the clicking has come back now i havent abused it at all as its hardly been driven. everything was done ok.

now im stumped

Cv joint?

[GTIcheeseman]

Cv joints are usually knocking not clicking ain't they?

Nah they click mate, worse when cold and full lock too.

I have been in a few cars with them and they have always knocked. But great how much will that cost?!

ABS ring?

When I looked at it , it looked ok

[jamie1989]

Knocking is usually arb bushes, topmounts or struts, wishbones bushes under hard braking and clicking is usually cv joints dry without grease etc
This is what Iv expierenced.

Hmm could I be cheeky and remove the gaitor and grease it up? It would last a week wouldn't it ?

Depends on the joint really and how bad it is.
If you remove the driveshaft which doesnt take long you can see the state of the joint that way.
If its nackered youl see metal pieces broke inside the joint anyhow.
My mates tdi is the same funny enough we changing it tomoz morning
