Cv joints
its not my cv joints cus its not when im moving lie if i just sit there and go lock to lock then it will do it thanks fo the help tho
Could possibly be the steering rack moving from side to side as you turn the wheel.... Something like this tho I would recommend taking it to your trusted mechanic to diagnose as we cannot diagnose something we cannot hear
have you got coilovers / Front Camber kits?
Crappy coilovers with the camber tops are shit. the springs move and you hear clunking /other noises as you turn the steering to either left or right full lock. I.E G4's, D2's, K-Pros etc. (from experience)
if its not your CV joints then something is loose or your have a loose sussy bushing/mounts.
take your car to a suspension place, I.E Pedders, they do a great deal in sussy inspections like 100+ points check and they will tell you exactly what is wrong. Unlike mechanics they are often limited to what they know, but a proper sussy place will direct you to the right light of path! :)
yer i have skunk2 front camber kits with tein ss coilovers
Make sure all bushes are in good condition, all bolts are tight, and that anything that shouldn't move isn't.
Check your Front stabilizer links
wheels done up properly?
idk lol
Is the noise originating from one side or both?
how's your radiator mounts
