Whenever I turn my wheel all the way to the left or right during a stop it makes this clunking sound. When I have my wheel partially turned and go up an incline (I.E my driveway) it makes the same clunking sound. It sounds/feels like my front end is gonna fall apart.

I'm going to get my car on a lift tomorrow and try to see what the problem is exactly.

Anything in particular I should be looking for? I have heard about the endlink problem and was wondering if these symptoms could possibly be of that nature.

 

bump!!!

I took it to the shop today and got it on the lift. We were able to replicate the sound but it was strange. It sounded like it was coming from two spots. Near the steering rack on the drivers side, and somewhere down bottom on the passenger side.

someone please chime in.

 

Any mods done to the suspension? or in general?

 

We need history ---yr, mileage, mods

This "clunk" noise Iv noticed is being asked about often lately but I havent been involved. With FWD thats CVs going out, but... not the case. Ashamed to say, I have an End Link dangling because the nut dropped (Dont have one in my collection) but no clunk or really any adverse effects. (My excuse for forgetting to get one)

I had gotten that noise one time when my upper A Arm bolt backed out

If a shop had it in the air they should have been able to diagnose. A close inspection by someone that knows what they are doing will bring it to light.

R@Ps will make a noise if they are trashed. Then you have upper and lower ball joints. I'm taking for granted your brakes are in shape but those really aren't symptoms.

Get the front wheels off the ground and inspect everything INCLUDING front brgs

 

My car has 72k miles w/ tein basic coilovers. I just added SPL endlinks today. The endlinks got rid of some little creaks but the clunk is what is really horrible. I can feel it near my feet on the drivers side when it clunks.

 

Sway bars?

I wish that was the problem man. It honestly seems like I never have luck with this car. One thing after the other...
