Is This Normal...?

[Barn]

When the clutch is in and I steer, I can feel something turning by my foot? Is this normal?
Also, when I'm just cruisin and I steer right there is a grinding sound (quite loud).
Annnnd, when I'm cruisin there is some kind of knocking noise (not realy bad but noticeable), I'm quite sure it's coming from one of the back wheels....could it be a bearing?

Thanks

its the joint in your steering wheel you can feel moving!!.

noise at back is probly wheel bearing yep

[Ste_Nova]

move your seat back

a rear wheel bearing gone sounds more like a loud hum sound.
as for the noise when steering right could it be a tyre hitting a thick mudflap?

check you cv joints, nothing fowling on the wheels when at full lock.

if worried its affecting your steering take it to a garage!

if you sit too close, (if your quite tall) you can feel the steering moving left/right on your clutch foot. moving the seat back a few inches gives you a bit more room so it won't foul on your feet

Moving the seat does not work for me, I've got big bloody feet so when my clutch is down I can't move the wheel or the knuckle knocks my foot off the pedal.

lol. buy a short stick and use that to operate the clutch 8)

If your brave or stupid enough you can try to use your feet to steer, by turning the joint.


Any tried driving standing up?
