Car just started making some reasonably loud clicking sounds while steering. If im just sitting in my drive way in park and turn the wheel to 2 o clock then go back the other way, it clicks.. also on full turns etc. Annoying!!What could it be?

This generally progresses to clunking etc where I then just got the rack replaced for a reconditioned unit.To be honest I am not sure what causes the clicking but I did also have it in my EF and AU that I have owned although they didn't require replacing over time like the BA did!My friends (ray076) 09 fg xr6t has always had a clunk and gear like grind when near full lock and exiting a driveway or similar circumstance. He has never had it seen to though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fpv gts had it the worst and a revised upper control arm bush was released to dampen the noise but it will never go away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fg gt's have a click sound associated with the power steering switch. Some have it worse than others. Also normal but If the switch is replaced it may dampen the noise somewhat Edited 07/10/12 04:00 AM by bionicxr6t05 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
