chloe-m Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 i guys, last weekend i bought a ford ka w reg 2000, put it thru mot and passes with medium work done to it, allthough before i took it down i noticed a clunking noise at the front when i put full lock on to the right (clockwise), didnt think anything about it (im new to this!) and when i got home i noticed it again, so took it back to the garage, they checked it over and said that it was the alloys that had been put on (before i purchased it) that were the wrong size and to get some spacers for them, i dont mind doing this if its the right thing to do!! could i please have some advice on this as i dont really know what size to get (my wheels are 13inch) and what about the bolts for the alloys? surely ill need a bigger size?..if so what will i need to get?? is it even that thats the problem?..or does it sound like something else?? please help me as i dont want to be driving my car if i could make it worse..thanks guys!! x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damocl Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Knocking on full lock may be a few things like you stated alloys not fitted correctly will lock.. Also driveshafts knock when they are on there way on Full Lock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
