Knocking noise from front left wheel
Posted: 27 Nov 2011, 17:19
Apologies in advance for this thread, i know how difficult it will be to diagnose a fault from my description alone, having said that... here goes.
When i bought the bus a couple of months back the previous owner had put the original wheels back on the front replacing the porsche alloys (allegedly for MOT reasons), having put the alloys (and adapters) back on the front i got a knocking noise from the front left wheel. I promptly removed the wheel to find that the adapter had unscrewed itself!! After alot of messing about, thread lock, and having to re-tap the adapter after destroying the alloy wheel bolts, the wheels and adapters are now secure but i still have a knocking noise, particularly when turning right. A quick google suggested CV joints, but of course this is not front wheel drive. What other components should i put on my hitlist ?
