Knock pop clunkity clunk.......

Post by G10 »

Hi Guys

Car was making these noises and we saw that the left cv joint was leaking grease out the boot.

Last week did both outers and mech inspected, said inners were all good.

Now the clunks are still there, even when going over bumps straight, or on uneven roads at very low speeds(20 or so), the knocks are there.

Is it something else that the mech will need to check? Or do i need to take it to a suspension place like TWT or Supaquik?

TIA :driving:
