My poor FTO

Unread post by A'Ton Sands » Fri Sep 07, 2007 8:38 pm

Seems my baby has developed a nasty knock at low speed near the driver side front wheel when under load.

Had the thing up on a ramp and the is no play on the wheel bearings and the suspension looks fine.

Now Jotto thinks it may be a CV joint problem, from what I can see he may well be right, I need to take my baby to a mechanic that know what they are doing.

Good luck, A'ton! I hope it doesn't cost too much to repair.

its the most common knock problum. the other parts if theay would go bad make a diff sound (like barrings will make a tick sound or grinding sound) hope that helps .

Yah CV joints, common, and horrible things to replace (messy, awkward)

By the way, what's an "FTO"?
Not sure what I'm doing in this boy's thread..
