   Hello
   
   My VTS has developed a clunking sort of noise when pulling away to the left.
   
   It doesn't doing if I am moving and turn left, it only does it when pulling away.
   
   I am thinking one of:
   
   Driveshaft - If it was this I would have thought it would make the noise all the time?
   Track rod
   CV Joint - Why would it not do it whilst moving and going left?
   Wheel bearing
   Top mount - Don't think would just be when turning though?
   
   Any idea?
   
   Cheers

   I guess I could just remove and check for play in the ball joint to be sure?

   Or pull up the carpet that side & tighten up the wishbone nuts as Krisb mentioned on another thread mate.
