My peugeot 306 makes a knocking noise when turning what could this be?

Question

The garage has looked at it many times but have not managed to solve the problem.....It is a petrol 1.4 meridian Y reg and makes the knocking noise mainly when i turn right or go round roundabouts.....

Answer 1

It's front-drive.....have they checked the CV joints??

Answer 2

It's a front wheel drive car, it is most definately a CV joint. Generally the boot surrounding the joint will crack and all the grease comes out leaving the bearings really dry and they'll start to click. You'll be able to drive on it for awhile, but getting it fixed is most likely in your future. You generall don't need a whole new half-shaft, just a new CV joint. Any reputable repair shop should be able to take care of it for you.

And no.... your wheel wil NEVER fall off due to worn/blown CV joints. However, with time, it will incompacitate the car, making it impossible to drive.

Answer 3

It sounds like the CV joints or the ball joints are going. They're the bits inside your cars wheelbase that enables your car to turn. If this is the problem and it isn't repaired then I think the wheel could actually fall off but that only happens after qute a long time.

Answer 4

its true your cv joints are worn, more than likely its the right hand side outer one that's noisy. these can be replaced individually or as a complete shaft that can be bought as an exchange unit from £50 to £100 depending on your supplier

Answer 5

try a different garage because they might not be well enough trained, if this has only started recently its obviously a problem, my car did it and it was something to do with the rear suspension ball socket joints had rotted away and can be very dangerous it is also an mot failure

Answer 6

def cv joint.take the wheel off on the side that knocks and check the cv boot,could be split therefore got no grease in it also if it is cv it will knock when in full lock reversing

Answer 7

Its probably a Roll Arm Bush that needs replacing, ask the garage to check them specifically.

Answer 8

This is your cv joint seems very common on peugeot as i see alot of them coming into my workshop.
Hope this helps
