full lock turning

I have a 110 200 tdi when i put the car in full lock its makes a knocking sound. whats that all about???

knock or click? Clicking is cv joint, knock could be from a track rod end

funny you should ask i wasn't sure wether it was a knocking or a clicking noise. i think more a clicking noise. Track rod?? whats that and how expensive is it to fix??

track rod end - steering joint attached to hub assembley.
Constant velocity joint - inside front hub assembley on the end of the driveshaft allowing the rotational action of the drive to be transmitted to the drive flange through an angle equal to the steering movement.
Cv joint is the more costly to replace

is it only on full lock and do you get any vibrations through the steering wheel?

no only on full lock could it be drive belt to lose as i have just changed it and not sure how tight it should be

just thinking if its only on full lock it could be your tyres catching the arms and could be a simple lock stop adjustment to sort it.

What wheel/tyre setup do you have?

they are 235 75 r16.

is the noise metallic or more of a dull vibration?

Thats what I was goig to say, definitely the cheapest, easiest thing to check, when I did my swivel ball I snapped my lock stop and as a result the tyre was catching on somert when on full lock. Two minutes of a job to check, and 5mins to sort if thats what it is.
