Knocking from front right wheel when turning right on uneven surfaces?

if i drive on cobbled road i get knocking from the right if i turn wheels right but no noise if going straight or turn left. does not happen on very smooth roads only uneven surfaces.


how can i test,


cv joint?


ball joint?


all gaitors look in good condition as do all bushes. i have jacked car up and can't see anything, i also cant get it to make the noise by shaking anti roll bar, drive shaft ect.


there is no play in wheel testing for wheel bearings.


its a uk impreza 2000 turbo


many thanks|||To check the ball joint jack the right front side up so the tire is just a bit off the ground. Use a long bar (crow-bar or your lug wrench) and pry up on the tire. If it moves up and down (without the whole car moving) the ball joint is bad.


For the cv joint grab the sides of the tire and push side to side on it. If it moves without the whole front end moving the tie-rods or cv joints are bad.


With either of these tests the tire should not have any wiggle in it. Any movement at all you should get it to a garage and have them recheck it for you. This is a quick test, but it is very accurate.





I had not thought about the brakes sticking, but that is possible to.|||cv joint mate, and it needs seeing to, i'm told that if the joint locks than it could be quite a nasty scary and possibly fatal moment for you|||Possibly a bearing but it can also be a stuck brake calliper and the noise is the disk pad rattling around.|||sounds like cv joint,get it diognosed and fixed as soon as possble|||Sounds like a drive shaft !!|||sounds like the anti role bar drop link had the same problem with my escort|||my guess would be cv joint
