Can anyone help give me some suggestions as to what may be wrong? On a right turn, there is a mechanical knocking sound from the rear passenger-side wheel area. It happens regularly as if it's related to some rotary motion. Of course, I can take it to the sahop but wondered if anyone had any ideas? Thanks.

 

Most likely the transaxle. I suppose you could do a quick visual inspection to look for torn boots and to confirm the joints are dry and/or worn, but if it's already knocking it's most likely time to replace it.

 

may be your halfshalf's bearing already wear and tear...is the time to repair it...

 

Thanks - anyone know what the part is called that looks like a small grille and sits where the windshield wiper attaches to the car....I beleive they made them in a chrome color and black. Pic is too large to upload. Thanks.

 

Hi again, do you know where I can get a free download of the repair manual or service manual or parts catal;ogue for a 1979 300D? Thanks.
