#1: 'Cluncking' when turn Steering Wheel Author: A18NHH, Location: MiddlesbroughPosted: Mon Feb 14, 2011 2:24 pm ---- as title, i had the radio off and noticed when i was parking and turned the steering wheel there was a 'clunk'
not too loud but enough to know it isn't right - i only seems to be noticable at low speeds though
any ideas? its a 206 GTi 2002

Was told it was the drive shaft joints knackered but when it went to the garage, they said there was nothing wrong with them. Still dont know what the noise is. Am guessing it can only be the steering rack.

i changed to drop links not long ago so i'll check they are tight and okay - failing that i'll do top mount bearing - thank god both only look like a £20 parts jobb
