So, I think my CV joint is on it's way out?

Post by Technikhaus »

So, I've recently noticed that on full lock, my passenger side wheel grinding kind of noise? Only on full lock though.
Do you guys think that would be the joint?
if it is, where would be the best place to source it from?

Cheers,
Braydon.

So I jacked the car up today, and I may have found the issue...

The wheel seems to be scraping on this plastic....

I hope that's just the issue....
The CV boot looked alright too btw.

Yep - thats the inner splash guard, very common breakable on the FTO and probably binned by most owners today - they either scrub with bigger wheels or break, and at 110 a side to replace ppl dont really want to go that route :lol:
Dwanye can source em new for that price too if you want to replace it/them (your other side will probably be shot too)

For future reference (and correct me if im wrong bennoz/payaya etc :lol: ) but CV's will make a sort of 'rolling' sound, then progress into a definitive clicking sound around corners (on the side that its on)

Extra weight!

CV's usually click or 'pop' on full lock.
