Car Forum / Peugeot Cars / February 2005306 clunky noises
Hi there Everytime I turn any corner my 306 XND L-reg makes loud clunky grinding type noises. Other wise it goes like a peach and has just had a new drive shaft fitted ( noises were there before this was fitted). What is this and how painfully expensive will it be to fix? Many thanks Grinding noise could be wheel bearings, the clunky sound.... - Don't know. Could be those funny drop-link things that 306's have.

Hi there Thanks for your advice. I?m taking the car back to the garage on Monday. Alarm bells should have started ringing earlier as when I picked it up last time the drive shaft fell off as they fitted the wrong one. The joys! Ta muchly Mrs Bob Maybe when you get this resolved, try another garage ?

DID YOU ASK THEM TO FIX IT (OR EVEN TELL YOU WHAT IT IS)? If you didn't it might be worth going back and asking them how much. If you did and they said you needed a new drive shaft to fix it then complain. But the description does sound like it could be the universal joint of the driveshaft (maybe the other one). Try driving slowly on full lock , if it is the joint it should be rather loud when at maximum lock > Maybe when you get this resolved, try another garage ? > [quoted text clipped - 34 lines] >> >> Mrs Bob "andrewclements" wrote: > But before trying another garage, ask 1 question of > yourself....

They said it might be possible to replace the boot and fix it, otherwise it means a new drive shaft (it was the passenger side we had replaced.) They also said the steering mounts (?) were loose and needed fixing, but I?m not sure if this is connected to the noise. Slowly moving while turning full-lock towards the passenger side makes a loud noise. So, it does sound like the joint, but I?m surprised its on the driver?s side when the noise seems to be coming from the passenger side. Back to the garage at lunchtime, methinks! ta b it sounds like a falty drive shaft to me > Hi there > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > Many thanks |
