    Hi,
    Anyone shed any light, when I turn a corner at slow speed, the right when
    make a tapping noise. I have looked for anything loose under there and
    nothing. I have even just replaced the front brakes in case something was
    rubbing.

    No noise at higher speeds, or in a straight line. Maybe the rocker arms, but
    that would knock when the car was rocked hard. his only happens when
    cornering.

    Any help????

    Tapping or clicking on corners only usually suggets CV joints. On older cars
    a clean/regrease solves problem. I,m not sure on latter cars.

    As you suggested, the right CV joint has split. I will give it a good clean,
    re-grease, put the boot back together and tape it up. Hope it will fix it
    till I can afford to replace it.

    I also noticed one of the wheen nuts was missing. 4 instead of 5. On closer
    inspection, the stud has sheared just inside. Where can I get a replacement
    M12 stud to replace the sheared one, after its been drilled out by the
    garage.

    I will then have to buy a new set of wheel nuts as the current ones are not
    standard, they have a M12 Hex hole in the end, not the regular M17 head.

    Clicking tends to indicate that the joint has been damaged from lack
    of grease. Plan on replacing the axle assembly or outer joint.

    The stud should be available at any auto parts store.
