Default Clunking noise?

O2 C-5 has a clunking noise when turning a hard left at low speed. Any ideas? 20,000 miles [IMG][/IMG] :confused:

I think you will need to be a little more specific. Is it one clunk or does it repeat as you continue to turn? Is it coming from the front or back? Can you tell from what side of the car?

I also have a clunk in the left front suspension when making a sharp left turn at slow speed. It usually occurs when the steering wheel is at full left lock. Happens on level ground, never when turning right. I have had the car up on stands several times and have inspected every bit and piece of the front suspension and rack and pinion, and can't find anything loose or worn at 28K miles. Also checked all body panels exterior and in engine compartment. I figure I'll live with it till it gets worse and I can track it down.
