Clunk noise when turning steering wheel to right - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

noonedoesnt · 01-02-2018, 01:56 AM

Hi, I've been getting a clunk noise when I turn the steering wheel to the right. It happens always at a certain point from the neutral position of the steering wheel when turning clockwise.

It makes a sound like the following video:

Check video at:

Only happens when turning it right. Any ideas?
Regards

What mods have you done suspension wise recently?
If so something is not tighten down properly.

Most common issues are top strut not loose, bad endlink, steering rack bushing/mounts. And swaybar mounts.

Check

Lug nuts torqued correctly
Caliper bolts
front axle shafts and CV joints
Tie rod ends
Strut mount bolts

Suspension is fully stock, only mod is full exhaust.

Well, several suggested possible sources of that sound have been posted.

Have you investigated them .. ??

If so, what were your findings ...??

I should've been clearer, yes I inspected with the best of my knowledge and r seemed fine. The car only has 12,000km.

Well, if you have checked those possibilities listed above, to the best of your abilities, and didn't see of feel anything lose or broken, I reckon its time to take the car into a shop.

If it's still under warranty, I'd suggest you take it to the dealer.

Personally, I would take it into an automotive shop where I knew the folks and ask them to do a complete suspension and front end inspection and check the tires and the brakes and check the alignment.

I hope you get it figured out ....... keep us posted ....

Bump. Got the car serviced, turns out the noise was due to a faulty strut mount.
