noise when turining the wheel??
Wednesday, July 20, 2005 6:57 AM
Ok I know I read it somewhere a while ago but I don't remember what I typed in for a search. Anyway, when I turnt he wheel either way now it makes a loud click click click kinda noise in the steering. What do I need to replace to fix this problem?

I would be probably betting on CV joints. They wear out faster when the car is lowered because of the stress on it. Anybody else feel free to jump in.....

It's most likely your strut mounts. Since your car is lowered with coilovers it's putting a lot of stress on the center of the mounts causing the rubber to seep up. The noise your hearing is most likely the rubber from the mount rubbing against each other. I'm in the process of replacing mine. Give it a look.....

That would be my second guess. I have to replace mine very soon

This may sound stupid but will cut down on the noise a little; try spraying some WD-40 oil on the top of the mount.

what do you mean by the strut mounts? Not a big suspension guy here. Like I know where the struts are mounted do you mean like under the hood on top where the bolt goes hold the strut? Just need an explanation. Also how much to replace?
