hello, i have an unusual clicking noise coming from the o/s/f wheel when ever i turn sharply or put car under load. its a 1.2 nova and its been sat around for a while.

so i got the car up on ramps checked for play in the bushes etc.... none that i could see, however when i turn the wheel fully left or right it sort of stutters abit and then gets really stiff (and i mean stupidly stiff) and all of a sudden it clicks really loud and you can feel it through the driveshaft, could this indicate the outer CV Joint is badly worn?

just wondering if anyone else has had this sort of problem, or anything similar??

Cheers

Outer cv joint.
Its usually the opposite one from the direction you turn in to make it do the noise.
i.e you turn left and it makes the noise, then it'll be the right outer joint.
