Clunk Noise Front The Front

[mr2nut123]

when i turn the wheel hard full lock right it makes a clunky bang noise front the front just infront of my steering wheel. also at 80mph the wheel vibrates a bit and doesnt feel as safe as it used to any ideas?

Vibrating could be tracking...

Cluck....hmmm dunno...steering rack?? I dunno....maybe....

Mate whats that title all about??

But anyway... the clunk you are hearing might be the spring turning suddenly in its seat when you steer.

Get someone to turn the steering lock to lock while you watch thru the wheel arch

and see if the spring suddenly jumps (Whilst the car isnt moving!)

If it is, you can put grease on the top and bottom of the spring to stop it doing it

As for the vibration.. could be tracking or wheel balance.

If the noise is what i said it is, you can do the job yourself in under 10 minutes.

My car has the same problem it was new in December and when I reverse on full lock out of a parking space it clunks quite dramatically - it's also a bit floaty at high speeds - my last MR2 didn't do anything like it. Could it be steering rack related?
