Hi all just wondeering if anyone has any ideas on a fault...

On full lock or near full lock I get a metalic click/clunk sound .
Does not happen when the wheels are straight.
Only happens under acceleraion

Seems to be no play on the wheel holing it at 3 and 9 o clock poss.

Any Ideas please?

Kind Regards
Charlie

Sounds like a CV joint.

You need a new CV joint on the side that is clicking.

Is there an echo in here?

Can that be got as a seperate part? easy job to do?

Replacement of CV joints is detailed in the Haynes MINI manual if you want to try it and is rated as "fairly difficult, suitable for competent DIY mechanic" which I would agree is about right. You also need access to a good mechanics tool kit.

Generally cv joints are sold as a complete driveshaft assembly, or you may be able to get yours reconditioned. As for installation, it is a DIY job if you are mechanically competent, otherwise go to a specialist.

Just confirming it for the OP. With one reply you'd be left wondering if the answer was right or not.

done driveshafts many a time on my old 106. have to get driveshafts, hub nuts and also some gearbox oil. will probably need a breaker bar, and a torque wrench, plus a balljoint splitter.

then it's all a messy bit of fun :P

has anyone done one of these on the mini? will i loose all the fluid when i take out the drive shaft? or can i just take the cv joint part from the drive shaft assembly that i buy from BMW and just use that?
