CV joint?
Hi all,
It has been great reading all your accomplishments with your Sharks.
A question,
When i turn the steering wheel and move the car in reverse, there is a knocking from the front left wheel. The car also tends to pull left when driving along, ever so slightly, but just enough to be noticeable.
Do you think this is a CV problem, and wheel alignment?
Cheers.

Could be that the wheel alignment nut's are loose on the front left and is moving. Or a brake pad. Grab the top of the wheel and pull it and push it to see if it moves.
There I fixed it.

Really?
Glad to see you've got a tarp over the scene of the "accident".
You have "shoes' in one of your cars? really? and it has a Porsche logo on it?
My bet is on the wheel bearing......or the brake lines swelling.......or....

I almost gave in on that one. The 928 does have brake shoes. You tell me where they are.
I was just thinking the "pad" is dragging causing it to pull to the left but without pictures...

Fine, But....
Fine, but, we were talking about the fronts.....I didn't account for a sudden transition to the E-Brake set up....

This is a treat I'd like to keep reviewing.
I get the same knocking from my left wheel area in reverse. I have check everything and all the alignment nuts are tight, the sway bar and A arm bolts all are tight too. When the car is raised, I pulled on the wheels and the bearings seem solid... You guys think it could be a brake pad shifting around? That seems a bit unrealistic since the knocking comes as I press the brakes to stop and they are gripping the disc pretty hard at this point. Is there a chance the A arm bushings are worn and the assembly is popping or shifting?

Sorry for the sidetrack. I was looking at your avitar picture, you doing that work by yourself, or is someone helping you?
