there is sort of a clunky weird noise coming from front right side of car.

its not suspension

i think its axial..  :(


i can only here it half the time. and it only dose it at slow speed wile turning. appers to do it worse wile turning right.

also u kind of have to spin the tires a bit to get it to make the noise.


turning traction control on and off doesn't change any thing ether. 




can any one enlighten me a bit

1. im assuming the axial for a svt is diff than a normal focus

2. has any one ever bought a axial for a svt  :blink:



best explanation of the nose. is it sounds like i have a full race LSD  :D

I don't know what to say , could it be the CV joint or axle as you call it ? If it goes like toc-toc-toc-toc when you turn and also accelerate , that's the one . And it should do it pretty much every time you turn (i don't mean the steering wheel being just a little off the straight , but being turned about half way or when doing a U-turn) . As for the LSD sound , I never had one . Another one could be the bearing starting to go and gives you a short grinding sound only sometimes when you turn , depending which side is worn .Check the wheel for play . Hope this helps .
