Strange noise?

[v70tom]

Hi.
On my v70 1998 I just noticed when you go in roundabouts and speed up the is a slightly noise.
It's only to the left and when speeding up.
Can't say it's grinding but would be the best decribtion.
First I thought it maybe the exhaust vibriting on the classy somewhere, but not sure as it seems it comes from the front.
Anyone had this before or maybe an idea what it cold be to illuminate where to look for first?
Thanks

It's not happened when speeiding up on a straight or right turn. Just left.
I know it make this clunking noise at the front when IMO over speed bumps and potholes and I know what to replace but this noise is different.
Thought maybe wheel bearing but this would acute left AND right if so.?

If it's clunking over bumps, consider drop links, ball joints and strut top mounts.

Yes that's what the bugga is doing anyway.
But there is this new noise. Just like grinding in left corners and only when I speed up.
Not by braking or slowing down.

as above...and poss wheel bearing sir..

[v70tom]

But, shouldn't be the noise on wheel bearing when you go in any corner?
Left or right should make grinding noise, not just left turns?

[PHIL V70R]

mine only made a little noise when going right it was wheel bearing only thing holding it in place was the nut..when we replaced it...it fell in half mate...was ok driving down the road till a right turn...:scared:

Ok I'll check this out then.
Removed the tyres yesterday just to find out one is bold to the metal on the inside.
Was strange when I went on motorways before so I checked it out.
But is e front right one, guess ill check both sides just in case.
Well , the tyres on for nearly 6k now and they wasn't new anyway.
Unless it has some to do with them struts, which making the noise over speedhumps.?

[PHIL V70R]

tracking for the tyres....how long you had the car sir...things i would check..drop links b.arms..top mounts...wheel bearings..shocks;)...is your car auto...

[v70tom]

Yes it is auto.
Been at my local garage and - thanks god - it's not wheel bearing.
The bloody thing is only available as a hub for this Modell.
100-150 quit if I am lucky.
It's the driveshaft.
The guy before must driven around for a long time enforce changing a split gaitor.
Well, nothing which falls off so before mot it will be done.
Is only the outer joint. Should get one cheap.

I also be told in theory I do not need them drop links, struts or whatever they called.
Them long bars down, it is only to stiffen the car while going around bends?
If the only mot thing I remove them so the clunk stops.
Otherwise I need a bloody wishbone and this gets done next month, after holiday.

All good then - I hope.

Is there repair kits for them wishbone bottom ballpoints around or do I need to get the whole thing?
Tyre front right was complete bold on the inside. Oops. Got second hand one on it today so at least is legal. Lol
But still needs to be done.

Erh. Yes the question, I ave the car since oct 12. Done 11 k since, and is now on 171 k.

[PHIL V70R]

glad u sorted sir....i would replace the hole b.arm in one go mate..

[v70tom]

Been thinking about it.
Cost on bits nearly the same and the work on top, where the whole arm is just 3 quit more and easier to do.may even find a bargain, I should know enough car parts dealer so need to hunt around. Lol

[v70tom]

Well, best quote so far
Wishbone front right
Driveshaft joint end left side
Link bars left and right
94 incl VAT

Guess that's not so bad.
