Hi,

I am hearing a noise from the rear passenger side (it appears so but could be from the front also, I guess) only while making sharp u-turns or full length turns. I doubt if it has to do with the ball bearings getting worn out on the suspension.

I would very much appreciate your valuable feedback as to what is causing this problem.

Thanks & Regards,
Ashraf

HI there,

If it is a knocking noise, you will have faulty C.V joints in the drive shaft, get these inspected.
