Mike Lloyd
2005 USA WRX. 16,700miles
The front end started making a "clunk" noise on slow speed sharp turns
(like parking lot turns, or at a 4-way stop). The car is just over a year
old and with this mileage the CV boots should be fine -- the boots are not
torn or anything. The click is not a constant tick-tick-tick like a CV
joint gives, but sounds more like something loose in the suspension or
something. It is either a single or a double clunk clunk. Sounds like it
might be foreward right side. It doesn't do it if I simply turn the wheel
with the car at a stop, but seems to be related to shifting the weight of
the car as I turn a corner (both accel, deccel, steady speed power on &
off).
Any ideas of where to look before I drive 2 hours to the nearest dealership?
