Ok i got abit a problem.. When i turn right when im going round a cornor i get this huge klunking sound from my front end sounds like the left hand side.. i thought it was the shockers but i was coming out of a shop and it did it then to and there was like no extra press coming on or off them.. so im really puzzled as to what it could be. Im trying to use every option i have got other then going to a mechanic atm. Doesnt do it when im on the spot only in motion..

Sorry about my topics being all over this forum just got so many questions and its great to have people that help me without costing me money :nuts: :)

possibly your CV's

']possibly your CV's

thats what i thought, but CVs would make the sound on turning and return. this just seems to be when turning away and its one knock, not multiple. and it only does it when the car is one according to shadex. could it be a bearing??? thats all i got left

have you jacked the car up to have alook underneath?

This happened to a person i know and it turned out that something next to the suspension strut came undone under the car and was constantly knocking.

Find a flat open area like a car park.

Put the car on full lock and drive slowly round in a circle.
Repeat this in the opposite direction.

If you get a large repeating clicking sound its probly a cv joint.

Jack up the front of the car and move the front wheel by grabing the top and bottom and rocking it to see if it moves at all.

It should only move a tiny amount. If it moves a lot its a bearing. ( check each side one at a time) :)

Aite man thanks heeps ill cruise down to the football club in 30 mins or so and give it a shot and it shouldnt be my steering arm cause i just had a brand new one put on like 2 weeks ago..

I had a similar problem but only when you turned the wheel while stationary or moving quite slowly, like negotiating out of a car park.
Turned out to be the top of the strut for some reason, mechanic took it apart and put a washer between the top plate with the bearings and the plate that sits on the springs ( I think)........problem solvered

check front sway bar also

Ok.. Turned right locked the wheel and took off and didnt do anything.. turned left locked it and didnt do anything .. But i was driving straight then turned left and it did it.. so.. im rather confussed now. lol seems to be only when im driving and then turn...:cry:

Probably your steering rack then dude, mine does it occasionally but my car is veritably ****ed anyway. Have it checked out by a steering specialist mechanic person.
