Noisy steering

<< < (4/5) > >>

07DefenderSeb:
Thinking about it a bit more - if you agree with the description of the sound the steering makes on full lock with acceleration, i'd put my money where my mouth is and suggest it is the CV joint, which a Defender must have - it probably has a different name as it may be slightly different (?)  :?

Mudmonkey:
I looked on ebay and found this so they do have them. Just a matter of is it the CV joint that is going? :?

Rich_P:
All coil sprung Land Rovers have CVs on the front axle due to the full time four wheel drive.  Series vehicles (apart from the Stage 1) do not have CVs and have UJs in the swivels instead because they're part time four wheel drive.

There, I hope that clears up the confusion.  :lol:

Mudmonkey:
Thanks Rich for sorting that out! :P

Mudmonkey:
bump
could it be a cv going then or could it be something else?
and if it is a cv whats involved in replacing it? easy? hard?
thanks!
