Title: Clunk/vibration when reversing on full lock
Post by: mrsmr2 on March 20, 2017, 12:02
When reversing out of parking spaces with full lock, there is a bit of vibration from the front wheels and it feels like one of the wheels is running over stones.

I've had a search on here and seen responses ranging from spring issues through to worn front tyres skipping, so I'm not much wiser really.  

Other info that might help:

It'll be serviced next month and I'm doing a North Weald day in three weeks (should be fun with those rears) so I want to work out if I have a problem before either of those events.

Thanks

Are you sure it's not the rears? Maybe the LSD is causing it to skip.
Other than that cvs show their wear most at full lock.

Sorry for late reply.  I don't think it's the rears.

Could be CVs.  Car has only done 44k though.

How is the steering UJ looking?
