Go on then, here is one i hope we can solve on here.
854 T5 Saloon 1996 125K on the clock.
Noise description = grind / creak
Location = passenger side front wheel / drive shaft assembly
It is a rotational noise on off on off on off etc etc (bit like when you have a warped disc) varies with speed.
Happens when you put light to medium power down constantly (on off on off) and when braking. It does not happen though when the car is coasting in gear or out of gear.
My mecahnic has had a look at it and done the usual checks on the front assembly and can find no obvious causes, checked drive shaft, bushes etc etc.
Its going in on Monday to have the boots pulled back and remove the anti roll bushes to see if that shows anything up.
Commonly thought suspect at the moment, inner Cv joint / Drive shaft worn.
What are your thoughts ?
Any mechanics out there come across this.
P.s the steering still tracks perfectly, no vibrations either accelerating or under braking, no loss of free wheel in that wheel.
:wtf:
