I knew I would have to change something in my steering sooner or later, now its time. But I dont know what it is. I can hear a clicking noise when I turn to the right. What might this be and on what side?

Is it coming from the front suspension or from your steering shaft area?

Click to expand...

Hmm, I didnt even think of the steering shaft. It sounds close but for some reason I think its coming from the suspension. Ill try to check later today when i go somewhere.

push inward and outward and side to side on each front wheel as wheel sets on the ground and see how much play you have and if you can recreate the sound it sounds like your ball joints or inner or outer tie rods..if you place hands at the 12 and 6 o'clock position and push inward and outward if you see excess play or recreate the sound your balljoints are bad.if you place hands at the 9 and 3 o'clock position and push side to side if you see excess play or recreate the sound your tie rods are bad..

if you are hearing a constant clicking when making a right turn, then it could be your left front wheel bearing. If its only as you are turning the wheel, could be a few things as mentionned above. When it clicks, can you feel it through the steering wheel or the chassis of the car?

is it in the wheel?

I have a clicking that as a saw the wheel back and forth I can feel and hear... it sounds like the turn directional auto off on my car, but I haven't looked into it yet...

Mine does the same thing...it's involved in the rack somehow for my car. Balljoints and tie rods check out and I don't hear the clicking unless I'm turning the wheel while the car is off...unassited by the pump.

I havent tried it with the car off, but Im pretty sure its not coming from the steering shaft. It will click a few times when I turn the wheel to the right. Im pretty sure its coming from the pass side.

make sure your cig lighter is not laying in your cig tray, mine was there once and kept making a clicking noise when ever I took a corner and it rolled from one side of the tray to the other hitting the sides and making a clicking noise.

As you are turning do you feel slop in the wheel? If so then you can probably narrow it down to a suspension component.

LOL, its not the cig lighter, I dont even have it in my car and it does it when Im not moving.

What do you mean by "slop"? It feels normal except for the clicking which I can feel through the wheel and the petals.
