My other car i drive to commute to work is a citroen saxo. 4 days ago i noticed a humming noise that has gradually got worse. I originally thought it was my exhaust, but the noise stopped when i turned right. I looked under the car that night and found the gaitor had come off the CV joint on the front passenger side and the metal retaining clip had broken. Quite a bit of grease has now been scattered about, but ive given it a bit of a clean. Ive had the gaitor put back in place and a new fastener fitted, however the car is still making the same noise. As i accelerate the pitch of the humming increases, but its only when im turning right does the noise stop. I think ive had a similar thing happen on my mini and it was the wheel bearing (as this also gave a humming noise)...

...Any suggestions on what it could be???...

Thanks

you've probably got dirt & water in the joint and it's worn it. replace the CV.

what pikey said. one the gators off all sort of ribbish gets right in their and churns it away. if you don't do it now you;ll have to do it later.
