Re: "Clunk" in turns

["Robert Rooney" <dmcvegas@xxxx>]

Off hand I can think of 2 problems that you may be having. Check out 
the following link and see if the symptoms described match yours.

Something else to check is this: If you turn either right or left 2 
or more times in a row, does the clunking continue? In other words, 
if you turn left you hear a clunk. But if you turn left again do you 
still hear anything? If not, it could just be that it's the half-
shafts sliding back and forth. Some quick lube could solve the 
problem.

But if your absolutely positive that the noise is comming from up 
front, you may want to check if something is loose inside of the jack 
stowage compartment to make sure that nothing is loose and sliding 
around.
