Clunking sound on steering

Postby ian_kell » Thu May 08, 2008 6:46 pm

Any ideas group as to what it could be

Sounds like it is grinding as the wheel is spun. Only happens in the middle portion though. ie when parking or slight chance of direction. Any idea?

There's many things that it could be? :(

Does this sound like it's in the car or eminatting from the the outside, e.g. engine compartment?

When i turn left at around 120 degrees... it sounds like a loud mouse click from the steering hub... certainly not from the engine compartment
I got used to it :evil:

they said on my post that the clockspring mechanism behind the steering wheel is on its way out

sounds expensive especially when the airbag is in the way
