Simez Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Does anyone know what would cause 'clonking' when turning the steering wheel and also a 'ticking' noise when driving and veering left? I've replaced the track rod end ball joints and it's helped the ticking sound a bit but still there, is it even safe to drive like that??

auldreekie Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Sounds like a driveshaft on the way out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isetta Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 I don’t know where your clonking is from but mk7 is known to have a problem with clicking from universal joint on the steering shaft up under the dash. Due to needing oil /grease. I’ve not had the problem myself but read about it loads of times on this forum 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unofix Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Almost certainly the n/s CV joint. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cv joint part itself is not too expensive, if getting a garage to sort it the labour will push the price right up. Its not a 5 min job. Last time I did one myself was 2 decades ago, and that was on the street. Garage hydraulic ramps make the job easier. 🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
