Banging... its getting embarresing now...

[Ste00]

On full lock (right or left) my surf bangs randomly... not a regular patten or anything just loads of loud cracks... i was told it would die down and it did... but now its back and i keep getting funny looks in carparks (get less looks when i am squealing its tires and getting it sideways...), had a look round the front wheels and cant see anything obvious, i heard somthing about greasing somthing but for some reason the search thing isnt liking me atm... so anyone any info / ideas what it is / could be?

Thanks for the reminder - noticed mine did it again the other day so must need regreasing!

er.. it didnt work... greased them up loads and it still does it

[BUSHWHACKER]

Maybe CV joints are dry and need new grease?

Make sure your have grease both back and front on both left an right wheels. Worst case if its your cv joints your looking around £75 per side. plus labour depending how handy you are.

i did both (in middle of halfords carpark with no cloths to wipe of the grease off my hands... good idea? i think not...)

well i am fairly handy... (re-building a nissan 200sx 1.8 turbo) might just try more grease tomorrow... fingers crossed

If it your cv joints its usually more of clunk clunk clunk. But the bumpstops if dry is usually more of a dry grinding sound.

Check condition of anti roll bar bushes, drop link bushes etc. Also I remember someone saying that the torsion bars can creak too. Wouldn't know what to do if they were tho..
