Defender 110 2.5 Tdi - 1992 vintage.
Going round right angled corner - I get a clicking as though something is wedged in the tyre tread - it is road speed consistent.
Checked all the tyres and that nothing is fouling etc. Clicking appears to be coming from the front nearside.
Any offers please as to what it is??? I have in my mind eliminated bearings breaking up as on the straight there is no undue noise or rumble etc.
CV joint on the nearside front halfshaft as a first educated guess.
So EMB was, like
Agreed - first thing that came to mind.
Ill third that.
Under £50, 2 hours to change. Max.
But before you do anything ... check that there's enough oil/grease in the swivel housing. If it only clicks on full lock think about whether it is worth doing anything at all in the short term.
Thanks gentlemen - you were all correct in your diagnosis - there was oil in the swivel though - guess the cv joint has just worn out on this vehicle which has done 158000 miles.
Thanks once again.
