Hi this is my first post on here, and unfortunately I came here because I have some problems with my 306.
It's a 1997 hatchback 19 diesel, and lately I'm hearing this noise coming from the front wheel (driver's side) it's like something is bumping. you can't hear it while idling however you can hear it when like for example going downhill on neutral (it's a stick shift/manual gears) it gets louder when you're going downhill and quiter when going uphill (don't know if this has to do with anything I'm just trying to give as much details as possible) also I can hear it more when I steer on the left.
I've asked around and I heard that 306 suffer from wishbones however whenever I'm moving and I let the steering wheel go, the car doesn't steer into any direction, just keeps going straight like it should do it has power steering but I don't know if that's even related.. If for example I'm going at 30km/h and I hear the sound once every second, if I accelerate to 40km/h the sound gets more repetitive and you can hear it twice a second (this is only an estimation so that you guys can understand me better)
If any more information is needed pls let me know.
P.S. Please know I'm no mechanic and I don't know anything about cars, I'm only here because my mechanic said he can't figure it out (or maybe he just didn't feel like working on my car or maybe doesn't like me) and I'm not planning on doing the work myself, just for general knowledge and perhaps tell the new mechanic to check what you guys think is the problem..
Thanks in advance and sorry for the trouble.
