The cars making a clunking noise whenever i turn the wheel, maybe 5 clunks to each direction...Also with the engine off, and slightly turning the wheel it turns to a twanging noise..... Does it sound as if i've got a leak and the moving parts are pretty much drying up? f*ckING LOWERED CARS! ________________________________________ VW Golf GT TDI 115, 100k nooooooooooooooooooooo! |

Yours does sound more like a CV joint or similar i'd say fella.Mine ONLY does it while turning, which is making me suspect the dreaded steering rack! ________________________________________ VW Golf GT TDI 115, 100k nooooooooooooooooooooo! |

Not heard of a rack drying out but have had problems with clunky right turns due to broken top engine mount  |

Hmm well it'll do it at 5mph or 30/40mph and the more i turn the wheel the more it clunks!!Thanks Adam, also as a thought it's currently following bumps in the road (steering pulling) and it seems heavier than usual, also when straightening up after turning into a junction for example....the steering's in no rush to straighten back up and i usually have to pull it back myself. Needs a bit of money spending on it now, sounds like it could be a couple of things then due to excessive stress! I haven't lost any PAS fluid so i suppose it can't be a leaky ram or anything Can any of the above (top mount bearings/universal joint) be inspected visually? ________________________________________ VW Golf GT TDI 115, 100k nooooooooooooooooooooo! |
