Here's one for ya.... Make sure the exhaust downpipe isn't anywhere near the transmission tunnel (ie touching it!!) Cos this makes an awful noise and is quite common!!! Mine only did it when turning left though!!

bbigman2000

neither am I

have you got a ford or are you just here to look good

Katie

uhm, neither of the above, bigman....lol....

bbigman2000

cheers mate, defo not that

its a somewhere in the front drivers side steering department

could be a knackered cv joint m8, more likely outer cv if noise is worst when cornering

bbigman2000,

More likely to be exhaust down pipe knocking against the short prop or bulkhead. When the fron diff was changed, they prob did not align the exhaust downpipe/system to give enough clearance......

If it is that then the fix is quite easy, loosen the 3 x turbo to downpipe bolts, move the downpipe to clear prop & b/head and re-tighten.

ahhhhhhhh yep yep I think your bang on mate

cheers for that, when they sort it out later this week il come back to this thread and leave the answer.

thanks mate

Check it first though!!! I thought all of the above, even changed my tca and engine mount before I found out what it really was!!!

Fair play, my exhaust side mount was fooked though!!

bbigman2000

doug, thanks mate, I checked all that today, Its defo not that, its in the steering mate, I should have whipped the wheel off today but i was lazy and tired so thought id see if anyone could shed light on it, thanks doug

bbigman2000

I will indeed bud, ah well atleast you got some nice new parts done haha, this is a distinct metal against metal noise, and you can feel it through the steering must be CV joint i think bud

Dean Saff

sounds like a CV to me.. jack the car and spin the wheels .....by hand

bbigman2000
