Clunking noise?

[Nutcase]

Hi guys, just recently my freeda '2.5td'has developed a Clunking noise when going very slow ie' parking etc and it appears to be coming from of but only when on extreme lock either direction, has anyone got any ideas and if so is it a DIY job.

Cheers guys

Sorry forgot to say it is 4 wheel drive

Just read my first post and there is a bit missing?

It is coming from the osf but only when going very slow parking etc.

probably the c.v. joints. Not a d.i.y. job as the wheel alignment will have to be re-done.

Thanks Ken, will they have gone or just need stripping and regressing, oh and thanks.

In my experiance a replacement shaft would be the best fix ! If it is the cv joint

[kentait]

stripping and re-greasing may help temporarily. gordon's (the laird) suggestion to replace the whole drive shaft is probably the easier job, but more expensive, unless you can source one from scrap. i may have been wrong regarding the wheel alignment,though, as th cv joints may not affect this.

It could well be the above but check the drop links and anti roll bar bushes first. If there knackered the noise can show up at strange times.
Much cheaper and easier than CVs.
