Hi All, I've recently had a few strange sounds from up front & I think I've narrowed it down to a certain sequence of events. When I'm driving around a corner (turning to the right, with the steering at close to full lock) I hear a clunk sound(metal contacting metal) as I'm bringing the wheels back to being straight (so as I leave the turn). I also get a vibration sound when doing this (metal against metal sound)... not all the time but most of the time. I've been under the KJ a number of times over the last month or so trying to find something loos but can't. Any input would be much appreciated. CD |

Spot on Fros, I'm getting a price for a new rack and labour cost. (not sure if it's something I should consider doing or not.. I've never done one before.) |
