CV Joints Need Replacing?

Post by DoDaniel »

Hi, For some time I have known that the CV joints in my car would need replacing but have never really found it to be quite as serious. I first started noticing it when I would be parking the car and the steering wheel would be turned completely to the left or right and it would make a knocking noise.

However I think it has become worse than this now as when the car is moving slowly round corners it may occasionally make a knocking noise. Is this the sign that I will definitely need to replace it as soon as possible? As I do not have the money to do it at this moment in time. The car currently has 120640 Miles on the clock and I know that you are usually supposed to replace the CV joints around this amount of mileage.

I know a site in which I can order the CV joints for a reasonable price but I do not have the skills to replace them myself. Kinda wish I had taken a Mechanics course at college.

Any help would be much appreciated.

I've decided to replace the CV joint and Boot. Hopefully it will stop the knocking noise coming from my car when going round corner.
