My little bro has just brought himself a evo 6, everytime he turns the steering wheel full lock going to the right it makes a knocking noise, now he's changed the CV joint but still no joy..

Any ideas?

is everything tight, suspension top bolts, ball joints, is the wheel bearing gone?

I would get it jacked up and check everything is in good nick and tight mate.

Top mounts of the suspension strut...

Maybe ask on MLR?

Deffo worth a first check, happens a lot, on all cars, and often dont sound like tis comin from there.

Check the centre nut especially.

Front diff bolts broken, You need to sort asap as it will screw the front diff.

Its your diff bolts most likely. You can get uprated bolts and glue the fuckers in to stop them breaking again. Problem solved

How much will this cost to do and can you do it yourself?

Yeah i spoke to mitsubishi about these the other week they said they sell load's of em

I have never had to change them, Shocks yes strut tops no, Diff bolts loads, the clucking through the steering tell you its diff bolts.

what about a clunk in a straight line when going over speed humps?? that goes when ever it rains? I have a lower cusco brace fitted and i reckon it might be that..or a worn bush or summat.

my mates evo 6 had this problem and was a driveshaft problem, as said your best asking on mlr

Mark Shead

They are flairly clunky anyway, Drop links do go and I would check roll bar bushes, Rear bushes cause problems also.

I was thinking drop links actually!!! i don't use it much so i just haven't got around to doing it..

It's defo front too.

I'll get under it in the week, thanks for the reply

Mark has already said what it is, very common...i've seen loads of threads on there about it.

Very good chance Mark's hit the nail on the head with this - was going to be suggestion later if the struts got a clean bill of health

The diff bolts shear for fun sadly - when i was at RC we used to use some slightly different ones and plenty of loctite when they went back together

Ive just remembered something, I had the car up in the air in my m8's lockup when we were fitting the CV joint, I put in 1st gear while in the air while my m8 stood underneath it and there was no knocking so could it still be the diff bolts or something to do with the suspension?
