CV joint gone?

[Rikki Kitto]

Think it's the left front CV joint, can this be replaced on it's own or is it the whloe lot

[Rusty]

Can be replaced easily enough. Left front takes most of the loads on roundabouts and trackdays...

[Rikki Kitto]

Cheers the noise goes away when steering even slightly to the left so assuming it's this one

Anyone know if these are any good?

Doesn't sound like a CV joint then...

Are you running 996 brakes up front? With or without the anti-rattle shims? Could be a bit of movement in the wheel bearing and the pads not retracting properly... BTDT. Copper cgasket secures them to the shims nicely. HTH

Mmmm interesting, gonna drop it off to spanner monkey tomorrow let him deal with it. Too busy at work and need it done for the weekend. I do have the big reds but sure they have copper grease in the right places put new pads in not long back and seem to have been Ok. Been doin 70 to 80 round some of the big roundabouts locally so maybe upset things a little

[Rusty]

Not copper grease, copper gasket as a glue

[Rikki Kitto]

Doh! cheers
