Bad injector or cv joint

Postby Veki007 » Sat Mar 10, 2018 11:03 am

Hi guys i have started experiencing a knocking sound when turning and tooked today to garage to see and book in but when they did test drive he came back saying everything is ok with cv joint and he tinks is faulty injector.Now problem that i have is it only happens when turning right(5-15mph) and it will not do it when you drive slow it doesn't do on straight acceleration.Has someone experienced something similar and im being idiot for not believing to the garage or is a cv joint and tgey just want money???Many thanks.

I had a slight noise similar to you description that was the drive shaft, only happened when pulling away and turning. Started at about 50k miles. I can't see injectors only making a noise when turning.

mine does this too, took it to a mates garage and it looks like its the steering rack, when the van is stationary and turn the steering wheel slightly to the left and right you can hear it knocking away.

Get a second opinion from another mechanic, as said already, if its only doing it on turning it is unlikely to be injector related and most likely steering/suspension/driveshaft related

Have been to different garage and he saying is a passanger cv outer joint (what ever that means).And my it does not make any clicking noise when turning a wheel is only when accelerating and in corner it starts to knock.

The driveshaft has a CV joint on each end, the mechanic is saying its the outer one knocking, ie the one nearest the wheel.

Thanks.Waiting for shop to let me if is possible to order only a cv joint or it has to be whole drive shaft.As the other garage i could not belive when they told me is a injector.When i asked him to explain why is not doing constantly they said they do not know but is a different noice if is cv joint( he said clanking noise not knocking).Any how is diagnosed now and lets hope is only that and not something else on suspension.Thanks for help.

Its probably more cost effective to change the driveshaft, the extra time to swap a CV joint will probably outweigh the driveshaft extra cost and you know the inner CV joint is good too then.

I've fitted a pair of shafts to a van that had been running about with outer cv boots split.
Lost its grease / had water in,and they were both clicking badly accelerating with lock on.
Ford do not supply outer CV kits,they come with the shaft and you have to swap your inner cvs on to them.
The splines on this shaft at inner cv also can be a different size,I think all but the heaviest weight custom (330 ?)
Are same,and the 330 is different.

£230 for complete passenger drive shaft and labour to fit? Where did you get this done? I’ve been quoted £550 by Vospers Ford in Plymouth. Mine clicking too and shuddering under acceleration.
