hi all got another problem with my espace i was driving this afternoon and all of a sudden i started hearing a thudding sound coming from the left hand side of the car i know its nothing to do with the engine as it only happens when im driving and not at a standstill and gets faster the faster i go sounds like the wheel have checked the wheel is not hanging off and its not, think it may be the cv joint or driveshaft on left hand side, how do i check these? and are these easy to change? regards jamie
hi there you may find this noise is not actually coming from below, i have had same problem and my fix was to change the the strutt bearing . it comes in a set for both sides at a price of @£60 the noise travels down the strutt giving the symptoms you say probably hear it when you first acelorate and at gear change if your quick on the clutch. i have changed these and it is quite dificult to reseat the spring in the bearing cup when changing,
regards frag.........
