i have had a tapping sound on and off for a while on my drivers side front wheel area. i just thought i was cus of my wheel arch inners being a lil lose and tapping againt the wheel sumtimes. but i have look to at the inner and the scraps on it are same as when i first looked. the noise is now stating to get loader and pretty much every time i drive the car now.

any ideas? is it eth driveshaft? wat does eth driveshaft knocking sound like?

Jack the car up and spin the wheel and see if u can pin point what parts making the clicking noise, C.V boots split easy but ud see loads of blackgrease on your wheel and back of your caliper
