Noise on FOS wheel

gazza975526570

Hi

Ive got a Citroen Picasso and for about a week or so whenever i go over any bumps there is a loudish knocking noise on the FOS wheel. Its as if when the wheel goes over someething it is hitting something. In addition if im hardly moving and use the steering wheel it makes a noise then as well

I really know nothing about cars - anyone want to offer any ideas as to what it could be and costs?

Thanks all.

CV joint? bushes? usually the first things to check

Take it back to where ever you got it from, it must have some sort of warranty.

If you cannot get there in the next day or so, ring them and make them aware of the problem as soon as you can

Good luck

Could be any number of things, including:

1 - loose wheel bolts
2 - failing ball joint
3 - failing CV joint
4 - ARB moving about

You should get it checked out immediately - not asap - immediately. A failed ball joint can be lethal.

I had a ball joint fail one the way out one morning. The previous day I had driven home fast on motorway etc......

Even though it only failed on the lane at walking pace I must say my life still flashed begfore my eyes, when I thought back at the speeds I had been doing the night before Not nice.
