Tapping when turning left at 70mph?!

[Slinky_Saxo]

I was driving on a dual carrage way last night, i turned left on a slip road
at 70 mph and a strange tapping noise sounded like it was coming from
the front of the car. smileys/smiley3.gif I was wondering if any one could give me some
advice on what the problem might be?

Cheers

has it only happened that once mate?

[Slinky_Saxo]

I did turn around to see if it would happen again, and it did.
It only seems to happen when i'm going over 60 mph.

mmm just a guess it maybe the wheel bearings on there way out smileys/smiley5.gif

might also be c.v. joint worn.

Cheers mate, have you ever had anything like that go wrong with your
motor?

[unplugged]

if the bearings are on the way out the wheel hub should feel very warm/hot when driven a short distance.

to check if it's the c.v. joint, listen for a clicking noise when turing e.g. going round a roundabout.
