Hi guys been going through a bit of a dilemma lately, so basically there's a clunking noise coming from the front left when turning, so far I've put:
- new strut tops
- new sway bar links
- used pair of shocks as mine weren't that great
- new strut top bearings

Now the car does feel a lot tighter in the front end but the noise is still there ?!?!

Steering rack ends? I have no clue any more so any help will be much appreciated

Cheers Fil

Z bar bushes?
Control arm bushes?

Lower control arm bushes were replaced when I bought the car as a part of roadworthy, it's got nolathane LCA bushes, the Z bar/radius rod bushes on the other hand are worn out and they're on the to do list so it could be that, noise only comes from the front left

Ball joints or Hub assembly.

I have heard bad Hub assemblies make noise only on corners before.

So I've made a new discovery, the left side strut assembly sits slightly lower than the right side, everything has been changed strut and strut assembly wise on both sides so it's not a worn strut top etc, so I'm wondering what it could be that's causing the front left side to sit lower in the strut hole than the front right, I'm thinking lower ball joint as the hub sits on that? Thoughts anyone ?
