Thread: Clunking noise when turning wheel?

A strange clunk can be heard coming when turning my steering wheel. You can feel it in the steering wheel when you hear it as well. It started happening a few weeks ago. The steering rack was replaced about a year ago when I got in that wet leaves incident, could it be a problem with that? I haven't gotten a chance to take a look underneath yet, but here's a quick video:



The sound is a little bit exaggerated in the video, and yes I know it looks silly lol.

Could be CV axles or even ball joints.

Broken strut mount?

Steering shaft or the rack is loose?

Its too hard to say.

My wifes bonneville has made the same noise for years now. I haven't really looked into it.

I'l have to check it out soon. Hopefully strut mount, cause I'm replacing them soon, but I doubt its that.

i'd have someone turn the wheel while im under the car holding parts to feel/listen for the noise.

see if it does it both wheels off the ground too, while its up test what you can front end related, lca's tie rods, inner and outer, hubs. look for a broken springs, you never know.
