After enjoying a good thrash around in the car today, i got this really weird nose coming from the front drivers side wheel. The noise is similar to the noise you get when the speedo cable is going. Ive done the following disconnected the speedo cable, and the noise is still there, ive had the car up in the air on axel stands and the noise isnt there. I was thinking maybe drive shaft as i got a knocked type noise from the same area as i booted it around a left hand bend, which i think was the start of the noise.
Anyone got any ideas
cheers
PS: by the way i love driving around with a white bonnet  get some much attention

CV joint should only make a clicking noise on full lock if its on the way out IIRC

not really, the only other way is to remove the boot and take a look at it, see if theres any free play, hot spots etc

JAck up the wheel and give it a wibble and see if it moves, also turn it one way then the other. then check bearing, bottom ball joint, Tie bar buch, wheel bolts, steering arm joint and wheel bearing, or and CV.

I had it in the air on axel stands and waggles the wheels but cant remember if i heard the noise  god im useless although i have managed to line up the bonnet today so it dont rub on the wing and have replace the spring and catch with chrome 1's
