[antinora]

hey guys got new tyres today and hearing a crazy sound..

its real screeching from front left when braking..

so can anyone tell me how much cvs are goign to cost to replace?

[GoLfMan]

last time i checked they were about $150 each??? i may be wrong its been a while...
u know your CV is stuffed if u turn it on full lock and u hear a clunking sound, it may be something else?

[antinora]

ah yeh well it feels really bad on full right lock ...can hear a knock and feels like it rubs on something but i want new cvs anyway...

how long of a job ? can i drop car off in morning and pick it up in arvo ?

[GoLfMan]

yeh i dont think its too bigger job mate :)

[antinora]

i just dont want to have my car out for long periods i love driving the thing

front left when braking? doesnt sound like a cv...:confused:
jack it up n pull the wheel off n look for signs of rubbing on the inners or strut.
did they do a wheel alignment???prolly forked it up. Take it back to the place that fitted them if u cant see anything untoward.
there is usually no mistaking a screwed CV sound...they dont screech from what ive whitnessed, lol...

Sounds like a bad wheel alignment

Or back that old problem of something worn in your suspension that you have had for months. Sounds dangerous!:?

Spend your money in the right way mate. Take it to a suspension specialist, or to Mullers. You will pay a bit, but at least you will spend your money on the right thing, rather than on stuff that aint broke.
