Hey guys,

I gotta go somewhere and get this fixed ASAP, but I don't want to be overcharged, and I don't know what it is, so i'm hoping if I describe the problem you experts can tell me what it is as I have no idea.

The problem:

This is a constant problem, but whats happening is, the steering seems fine, except when I flick it side to side, it's making a clunky noise, like as if it's hitting something.

So basically you feel it alot when steering around corners quickly, the steering wheel will go fine lock to lock, but when you flick it quickly from one side to the other, it makes this clunky noise, which sounds to me like a rubber on rubber or metal on rubber, something hitting something.

Can anyone tell me what this is? My dads thinking it could be the bushes, but i'm leaning towards it being something much more simple, but I don't know what.

Cheers,
Jamie

If it helps, Fulcrum Suspension have a free suspension check service. Nearest branch to you would be at Yeerongpilly or Capalaba.

Mmm I but if it's in the steering wheel, is that possibly the suspension?
