Hi you guys i have a hatchy eg and when i am reversing my car with the wheel at full lock there is a knocking from the passenger side almost a clicking sound and was just wondering what the problem may be? Also when taking off slowly in the car it tends to sorta lock up and give a little jump before it moves off. just wondering if these problems are related :? and what they may be. any help is appreciated. thanks. :thumb:

Yea a mate of mine told it could also be a wheel bearing maybe?. A little unsure. i also heard it could be the track rod?
