Drove through 2 feet of water, next day, clunking/sputtering when turning left/right slowly?

Thanks for the advice mate, will do exactly this, need to drive down to the local indistral estate and find a quiet place to do it, only got a gravel driveway here and can't get the car up here. Silly question but are the CV joints only on the front, not the rear?

As I said, I am not familiar with the D4 or the D3 @gstuart is though.
Generally speaking constant velocity joints are used on front-wheel drive vehiclesand nowadays on some 4x4s as they maintain the speed of both the wheel and the driveshaft even when the wheel is turned to full lock.

Hi

Indeed there are cv half shafts front and back on each wheel

Hope that’s helps
 
Drive forward slowly with windows open and brake....if you hear a clonk it's lower control arms.
If they have not been done in the last 20k they will need doing.

Get under the car have someone turn full lock to lock if you see the control arms moving the bushes are shot lots of "how to" on the tube to inspect said control arms

Thanks for the advice hero, I did hear a clunk when braking that came on at the same time as the turning clonks.

One silly question though please, front or rear?
