THe noise comes from the front right, i cant think of anything else apart fron driveshaft or even gearbox?!? the car drives fine like normal and the noise comes in like a complete revolution, again backwards or forwards
can any one shed any light
get it back on the ramps and get the socket set out and make sure everythink is tight dont rely on looking and feel
i had a gearbox changed in a garage and they left the 2 bolts at the back of the cradle loose and that clanged a bit but not straightaway and they got a right going over when i returned
so give it the once over and check mounts with a pry bar look for cracked rubbers also pop the bonnet up put handbrake on and try pulling away in first and see if you get much engine movement doit harshish on and off the clutch and see if it clonks
might sound stupid but have you checked the wheelbearings and cv joints do a circle in the car park on full lock either way
