Fletchaman Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 Hi All hope your well I am getting a knocking sound when turning on my Subaru Forester 2013 I mainly hear it when going around roundabouts, any ideas what may be causing it and costs to repair? Thanks all much appreciated Fletch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judd Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 Constant rattling/clicking sound? could be CV joint, might get away with repacking the joints with fresh grease, certainly worth trying. A more suspension knocking sound might be drop links, cheap enough to buy and easy to fit DIY. You'll have to get underneath and suss out what's wrong.

I had the front lower control arm bushes replaced as Subaru told me they were worn on its service. Has reduced it but not stopped the knocking sound when turning? It’s not a rattle its a definite knocking/thud, thud, thud sound Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay762 Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 As mentioned - sounds like a cv joint to me - go into a car park and put your car on full lock, drive slowly forwards and or backwards and if you get a cyclic clunk, clunk, clunk it is the cv joint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes no difference - A key indicator is if you increase speed slightly and the cyclic clunking increases, reduce speed and the clunking slows down as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
