So I have a clunk coming from my steering gear.. Just wondering what I'm going to need to replace, and if anyone has any good shortcuts to pulling the steering gear..

many clunks can disguise themselves....

 

 

frequently balljoints, or top bearings of the strut can make sounds

when worn out..

 

also, i think the rack has an adjustment, most do, which might

solve that clunk, but i would have a real good look at the other junk under there too..

 

 

DOH

 

sorry, other parts include,

ball joints,

inner and outer tie rod ends,

strut top bearing,

the u-joint on the steering column also sometimes croaks

 

really helps if you find someone to oscillate the wheel while you

look/feel for the loose part(s).

...and torsion bar bushings.

Thanks subu luvr, i also have a clunk and can use some help in completing my list of possible causes.

thanks for the list of stuff to look at...

 

i have a clunk in my hatch whenever i turn.. sounds just like a tire is hittin the fender.. but i "fixed" the fenders so i know thats not the case.. just can't seem to figure out what it is..
