Clonking on full lock - CV joint?

[SirGSi]

Hi guys,

Me cars making a clonking sound when the steering is on full lock.

My guess is it's the CV joint. Anyone any ideas on how much this'll be to fix please?

Cheers
Grant.

as a drive shaft from a brakers will set you back around £30ish
with the CV's
also its easy to fit your self only take the wheel off bang off a cap an undo the shaft an pull out an re fit new one kind of

Might not need a new CV joint, if the boot has split and it's only just started knocking on full lock, a new gaiter and grease should sort it ok, been there many times before with Cavalier J, used to split em on a reg basis.

Thanks guys for the words of wisdom and support, as always!

My neighbour over the road is a mechanic so might get him to have a butchers at it to confirm what's required.

Cheers Mark on the offer buddy! - I'll let you know!!!!
