RE: W169 – noise / jumps when reversing on full lock

[AndrewCS]

Greetings. My 2005 W169, A150i 70k on the clock is making funny noises when I reverse in full lock – both ways.

I recently replaced the drivers side drive shaft as was what my mechanic thought was the cause – still the same.

It makes a clonk noise, probably every wheel rotation and sometimes you feel the car jerk as it makes the clonk noise.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance for any input.

Is it the tyres crabbing in the cold?

Any ideas?

Manual or automatic...?

Still doing it - temps around + 8 deg C - you think that could be it ?

 

[Larkone]

Probably not then

Sounds like shot cv to me, worst case splines in hub shot! No noise driving straight ahead? Put on full lock drive both directions in decent car park

The outer shaft or the inner shaft..??
