Goodkat Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Stupid thought, but are all the wheel nuts tight? You'd be surprised how often that is dismissed due to it being a silly suggestion. Sent via the 'Clacks' GNU STP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davetiler Posted September 1, 2015 Author Share Posted September 1, 2015 Hi yes had both wheels off,to look for any problems Seems to be worse on bumpy roads To check cv joint ,I will try running in a circle ,should be able to hear it cracking ,if it is the cv joint is it easier to change the whole shaft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
