Knocking sound when U-turn

[Trd123]

There is a knocking sound coming out whenever I make a U-turn. What is the problem? Any expert can comment?

Does it sounds like, "clack, clack, clack..." If so, it looks like a coupling problem.

Your CV joints are worn out. Get it replaced ASAP.

Did you change to a bigger rim, maybe the offset not enough....

[Cooliechang]

Hi..

 

I also think its the CV joint goner liao.. better to replace it.

 

If it is not CV joint, then can let us know what could be the cause of the knocking sound and how to solve it so that if next time our cars encounter such problem, we can roughly know wat causes it.

 

Thanks.

Not just U Turn. If sound also comes when you do a right or left turn

there is a chance is due to bearing.

 

CV joint is may be the suspect but bearings located at the shock absorber

maybe the cause too.

[Blacklx]

If its the bearings, there will be a constant "humming" sound when travelling...most likely its the CV

When my drive shaft gone also same sound as urs.

So what is CV? ASAP? Dangerous? I am driving a corolla...my front tyres is 195/60/r15 but my rear is 195/55/r15...is this the cause of the problem?

what made you do a crazy thing like that? haveing larger overall diameter on the front wheels?

[Trd123]

I just wana change my front tyres at stamford that time and they say it is okie to have a larger diameter in front. So wat's cv?

[Huatman]

Got prob b4, the rubber cover at the drive shaft (the pt near the wheel) torn.
