As title my civic has just started to do the above, it's only at low speed when parking etc. I can't feel anything through the steering wheel itself.

What's it likely to be?

 

At full lock or smaller angles too?

 

Probably after half turn and on wards. Was definitely doing it when NOT on full lock anyway

 

CV joint!

 

What he said ^^^

 

As above

 

I thought as much. Will get it checked out asap

Thanks for the replys folks


EDITED to also ask, is this an expensive job? I don't think so?

 

depends how handy you are with you are with spanners, if not so then will probabaly charge a couple of hours labour

 

I wouldnt be doing it myself.

Im not complaining anyway, all its needed in 3 years is a wheel bearing(apart from tyres,brakes etc)

 

It's not that hard to do yourself, although you will need a big socket and breaker bar etc for hub nut and ball joint breakers etc so if you don't have the tools then it'll probably be cheaper to pay for someone else to do it.

 

Right just had a test on the way home and i made it clunk when the wheels were straight. This was crawling in 1st grear. Then I stopped and as soon as I pulled away clunk again. When I change to second and speed up abit it goes away.

Not cv joint then??

It's having a tyre on Friday at my mates garage so we will have a look when it's on the ramps.

 

As already said above m8. CV joint, my vans doing exactly what you said and it needs a new CV joint.

 

Would check the bottom ball joint too

 

strut top mounts and bearings,

 

check wheel bearing too!

 

I can feel a slight bit of vibration through the throttle pedal aswell.

Will see on friday for sure.......

 

I thought that was a hum when driving? i had a rear one go a couple of years back, it was humming like mad over 60. I dont have any of that right now apart from the low speed clunking

 

If at slow speeds like first gear up a hill chances are its cv joint
