Advice needed please before I pull my hair out

Hello

Our disco 3 is knocking hard lock left and right. was told poss cv joint, so booked it in with our local specialist who said poss diff. Sad

Any thoughts. It doesn't whine while going in a straight line or on lock and it doesn't knock while in a straight line either

Cheers

steve

Is this a common problem and solution buddy?

also this fault first occured whilst driving through torrential rain.

It is fairly common, though likely wouldn't be caused by driving through heavy rain.

I assume no other worn suspension bushes etc were found on the MOT? My D3 Build Thread

No suspension bushes were all good. if they weren't would that make the rear wheel judder?
