a little concerned

[S2-racer]

ok, had the cv boot replaced about 2 weeks ago, and now the car has developed a kinda metallic clunky noise when turning at slow speed
and there is no vibration thro the steering wheel,

cant hear anything when moving, only really when parking, etc.
i checked the wheel nuts and they all seem tight,
do i send the car back to the garage?? help please

CV joint?

[jameswkr]

Why dont you take it to Yeo Vile and ask Audiman to check it over ?

Top mounts or the front springs are moving on their mounts.

[Jamo]

How much is it to get top mounts changed?

[martinjs]

QST charged me 120+vat to do the fronts about 18 months ago.
I think they are shot again so i'll do it myself

a metallic clunky noise when turning at slow speed

I have that from the n/s of the car. I think it's the spring rotating in it's mount, there is a bit of a twang with it as well.

oh forgot about them and i had to do them on mine!

[S2-racer]

okay, so if its the springs movin or the top mounts how serious is that??

should i be drivin the car?

[audiman]

Does this noise happen when moving or will it do it when staionary?? IE when you turn the steering lock to lock??? Or does it make a 'clacking' noise on full lock when moving?

[S2-racer]

only seems to be makin a noise at slow speeds, i.e. when parking

and its makin a noise as the wheel is turned, but its not constant, like something is binding then releasing

[audiman]

thats the coil spring, sounds like the top mounts have collapsed, nothing major to worry about, just do it sooner rather than latter. Its a strut out job

[S2-racer]

is it worth lookin for a up-rated replacement?

when i replaced the corrado ones, i went for JOM poly ones. so much better than the OEM ones they replaced

[audiman]

You can try looking, but the stock S2 ones are pretty good, some say use the UR ones, but i have known them not last very long either.

[S2-racer]

looks like its shoppin time again, that b@stard who sold me the car did so at just the right bloody time


or do S2's break stuff like this all the time??
