(250) clicking from front hub

  1. Dont know if anyone else has experienced this, but i have noticed on full lock a metallic clicking coming from the passenger front hub area. Would this be an issue with the c.v joint or the other swivel joints in the hub? I am running Kw Clubsports, which is a reasonable amount lower than standard. Not had a chance to have a look yet, just putting out a feeler as to what & where to look? :confused:
     
  2. Mine does exactly the same
     
  3. Same side?
     
  4. Yes...I also get slight knock on braking but everything has been checked and all good. I think my lower hub joint has play
     
  5. I get a clunking from the brakes, but I think it's the 2 piece brake design when you brake from forward to reverse.

    Cv boot will have popped out/torn, when you turn it clicks.
     
  7. Mine are fine they where the 1st thing we checked.

    A lot of Euro guys that had run theirs low on Coilovers were having issues with driveshafts
     
  9. doesnt these cars click on full lock anyway on standard setup? i know mine does
     
  10. Never noticed it until the Clubsports were fitted. They skip on full lock.
     
  11. MY 250 cup skips on full lock at low speed and is worse when its a bit wet or icy. Its something to do with the diff apparently.
     
  12. It's also that it probably doesn't maintain a true ackerman geometry on full lock, one wheels trying to plow an entirely different radius turn than the other.
     
  13. I took a look & i cant find any issues,tried the same full lock manoeuvre & no clicking. I have raised the ride height about 5mm. The only thing is i think that it could be, is that with the car alot lower the tolerances are out in the c.v. joint( position & angle) causing the noise. Also noticed that the shit design on the Clubsports where there is a grub screw that locks the collar in place, metal screw & plastic collar will only end in stripping the threads out on the collar!!!
     
  14. Tbh Im not over the moon with the design I mean camber adjustment means dropping the arms each time but I can't fault there performance
     
  15. Likewise. Also to replace the collar its all got to come out! Might try & find another way of fixing it.
