whenever i drive my mini there is this horrible knocking at the firewall when i am driving in a straight line with low throttle and when i turn the wheels to any degree. this problem is making me sick every time i drive the car. i am thinking it is the cv's but would like to find out for sure, also if this is the problem how hard are they to replace? also i have cooper discs on the front if that makes any difference. thanks in advance. |

CV joints do not usually make noises in a straight line and if they do its terminal
