hickster Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Shafts or gearbox. Do you get a knocking or crunching on full lock? Is it hard to select reverse etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JORDEN_MB6 Posted August 8, 2012 Author Share Posted August 8, 2012 naa no clonkin on full lock, as i recently changed my cv joints as one had a hairline crack in it dont know how lol, reverse is actually quite a good gear to change into no knocks or nothing, first is 50/50 but everyother gear is alright, think my linkage is near enough dead though, but could be the inner cv joints, just am slightly confused as never ever had this noise before on any of my cars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hickster Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Might be worth checking over your front suspension bushes? Might be something like the wishbone shifting about only under the specific load when you hit the brakes in reverse? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JORDEN_MB6 Posted August 13, 2012 Author Share Posted August 13, 2012 hmmm it may be that but it seems like a metalic kind of noise, ill give the car a once over when i get new tyres and stuff, this month has been rather expensive tho ha ha 2 sets of brakes tyres springs and a cambelt n waterpump including full service Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noodels Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 also splines on driveshaft may have worn in the hub and cv joint area check your nuts for loosness also.its a 32mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JORDEN_MB6 Posted August 17, 2012 Author Share Posted August 17, 2012 well it shouldn't be anything on the outer edge as only weeks ago I changed both outer gators and NSF cv joint as there was a hairline fracture, sounds more central to me tho either inner cv wear or diff problems :/ just can't work it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philgor Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 had this on my old civic, i was on disk's all round, it turn out that some one had removed the thin metal shim's that fit between the pad and the carrier, so when ever i appled the front brake's in reverse, a clonk would happen.
