Hello fellow ladies and gentlemen where shall I start well a little intro to my peugeot 306 1.4 meridian (yes it ain't a GTI-6) but its my first car and its a peugeot, I got it last year and blew the engine in 2 months of driving as I was coming of the M1 so replaced engine all new belts serviced it then realised centre piece of exhaust needed replacing so did that and also whilst on the 306 GTI-6 club forms I replaced the rear subframe mount and bushes also did the front P - bushes and the ball joints I replaced the stabiliser links plastic ones on the front (bought of eBay) the problem I have is when I go over potholes or drains or rough road surface the passenger side makes a jingling/small clunking sound I checked and re tightened all bolts that I had undone I checked spring and seems fine bounced the car up n down and shock seems ok I tighten shock from top bolt but didn't want do it to much as it might slip I checked the calliper looks like some one had cut the sensor on brake pads so dunno If they took more off resulting in my clunk/jingle but all it tight and all bolts I checked r tight I did all the work myself including engine and its frustrating when you put so much effort and still left with the clunk this sound may I mention only happens when going over like proper rough or like potholes or drains I knw my tyre weight is scraping against my calliper but that shud make the clunk n jingle basically I'm more confused driving me insane I dunno as the rest if the car is ok that my ears mate being diverted to that one noise I driven it on motorways and drive it still and seems fine just that noise driving me mad please please tell me where or what to do or look for lol thanks team this is making me so stressed

You need to narrow it down.

e.g. Does it occur:

only when braking?
when turning on full lock?
over bumps?


Oh and take a breath, that was very hard to read

Lol coolant not violent bloody spell checking to now errrr

Thanks fletch, I have done most of them but one thing I think I may have to do again is the drop links they were from eBay and didn't really look quality, I have check for loose bolts, and track rod end seems fine as rubber seems good, but could you tell me how to check the top mount and the shock I have done the bouncing on corner and it seems to be fine, is ther any other way thanks mate sorry to be a pain, just being my first car and all that happened last year I hate any noise from it thanks guys

Thanks is the top mount just top of the shock absorber, and are you talking about the wheel bearing thank sorry to sound like a fool just want make sure looking at the right things cheers

Ok so if I jack it up and remove the wheel would I be able to see it from underneath like looking up the arch top of the shock thanks fletch you a god send mate sorry if I'm p**sing you lot off just plays on my mind all the time

^^ This. Try the easiest/cheapest job first

Does sound like what I had on my xs which was cured by replacing drop links

As said, before chucking more cash at it. Simply take off the drop links to see if the noise goes away. Have you checked a spring is located properly?

Right lads, got the drop link off noise is still there so that no issue, also checked the rubber on the top mount seems good no cracks, checked shock for leaks that seems ok the old boy reacons, but holding on to the disk gave it a wiggle, and there is slight play,checked tie rod for worn or torn in rubber but was sound, thought I open it up, as I did I found grease coming out of the shaft of it do I think the grease had come out which I reacon gave the play please tell me if I'm wrong,also now I'm trying to put it back on till I can get one tomorrow but the shaft of the tie rod is spinning, not allowing me to tighten it up so please guys desperate help 2 questions, one would this been the cause of the noises and also, how do I get the old tie rod to tighten up there is no hex key slot on top of the thread, I do need to get it on just for tomorrow till I get the new tie rod as got to drop brother to work so it be a messed up situation so please please any ideas, I tried using a clamp but still spins, thanks guys

Thanks Adam, I think I will need to change the tie rod it does seemed abit fooked, the noise was like clunk/jingling like 2 metals hitting so I thing when the grease was out and the movement from rough road and potholes was hitting it, lol I hope it is that, or its just me imaging my destiny, I'm gonna give the tie rod a go managed to get the bolt to thread, but will need a new one

I had the car up, the boots seem ok, I did full lock and accelerated and no knocking, however on the o/s I did notice some grease on the cv boot and shaft, but there no rips or years or knocking on full lock, the only noise is coming from the n/s front there was slight play when moving the disk as I had wheel off and only thing I noticed was the track rod end flat like grease had come out, when takin it off I realise grease was coming out of the shaft of it, I got feeling this might be problem, it sounds like 2 metals hitting, do you guys think the track rod end would caused this thanks guys
