m8s 90 is "clacking" Now what needs changing?
Full swival kit like this one

or just the cv joint?

If it is just the CV joint what other bits will he need to buy?

Cheers

07DefenderSeb:
There was a really long thread on this just after Christmas - it might be helpful.

CV shoudln't be too much of a pain in the proverbial.

Snooky:
Calm down, might just the shims sorting out, jack it up so the wheel is just off the ground and see how much play there is when holding the top and bottom of the wheel, if loads, then you need to remove some of the shims form the swivel pin, and also guessing there is no oil/grease in there.

Is the swivel leaking much, they all seem to leak a little, if so I guess it has never been topped up, I put one shot in after adjusting mine and has never been noisy again, much cheaper option to try 1st  :wink:

Mudmonkey:
Most probably the CV :wink:

Bob696:
