Every now and then I can here a 'clunk' from the rear of the car when driving. I've read up on this and seems the problem could by worn CV joints which apparently last around 100,000 miles (my car has 108k).
My first question is could there be any other source to this noise or is the CV joint(s) the most likely cause?
My second question is when reading about this issue, it seems that with '84 to '89 Carreras (mines an '88), you need to replace the whole axle as individual CV joints are unavailable?
My last question is; there are four CV joints, two inner and two outer priced I think at round £40-50 each. I've seen complete axles with two joints at each end. Am I correct in thinking I need to buy two of these (i.e four CV joints)?
Any experinces with performing this work most welcome!
