The "clunk" is mostly noticeable when you are steering in a direction (left/right) combined with another force on the wheel like braking, accelerating, excessive G-forces  on bumpy roads. It simply does not give me confidence in the car.
I had an external opinion and according to their investigation the cause is the steering house. You are able to hear the sound when the car is stationary and off and you wiggle the steering left-right-left-..... very rapidly. When you apply an downward (I believe) force on the steering-arm the sound seems to disappear. I told this to the guys in the shop but they do not seem to agree, although I am sure that is the problem. I am not a mechanic but trust the man who made the analysis. |
Do you have an update on this?
Did they fix the clunk?
Also, do you have the clunk sound when the engine is off and you turn the wheel?
I don't have any clunk when the engine is running or while I'm driving, so we may have different issues.
