   Whilst turning my steering full lock an travelling slowly i get a slight knock
   I know its not the wishbones or droplinks as krisb changed them not even a month ago and i have no doubt in his powers!
   Cat is lowered 50mm on apex springs on standard shocks (shocks to be upgraded to apex shocks in next week)
   Any one help?!?!
   
   Also hear a slight squeaking noise whilst driving now since ive put bonnet raisers on
   
   Cars getting annoying now! :/

   The black rubber gaiters on the drive shafts (two on each shaft) would be leaking black grease
   
   This causes dirt/water to get in and the joint inside to become damaged
   
   when my CV went, I would be driving along in 4th gear, when I let off it would make a odd noise. the best way to describe it was "owowowowowowo"
   
   Hope it helps
