Clunking/knocking noise when I turn the wheel sharp

Post by **Sean @ NDF** » August 15, 2005

I've been having this crazy clunking noise coming from the front of my car when i turn sharp or let go of the wheel fast. Sounds like it might be coming for either the axle, or the steering column. I was idling in my carport today and was turning the wheel from left to right suddenly and letting go and it would clunk. Any ideas of what this could be? I hope I dont need a new axle...

Its your axle, or balljoint. Most likely your axle.

cv joints connect the axle to the wheels, its coming from the center...

1) no you don't have to do both
2) depending on where you get it, there usually less than $100 after core, and most have lifetime warranty's. I recommend Napa.
3) Its not hard to replace, so don't buy a rebuilt kit, get a whole new axle, it will save you a lot of stress.

Good luck bro.

I had that problem for a while.... Then I took the dead hooker out of my trunk... Did you check your trunk?
