Clicking noise when i turn the wheel?
So every time i start up the car and drive and turn the wheel, theres a clicking noise. Does anyone know what might cause this to happen :S ?

can you be a little more specific...? does it do it under load and only under load? only when it turns or if you start out in a straight line aswell? any launch or hard launches? ect

it happens when whenever i turn the wheel, at a dead stop and as well as driving. It sounds like its comin fromg just behind where the steering wheel is. the power steering fluid is full i filled it up recently. i do have tein-s techs on the car. it happens on and off but its been more frequent lately

i dont have teins on but i did put on monroe shocks on my car last winter and ive had the same noise till recently...its just the trut mount binding a bit, heres the easiest way to fix this..i did it and im SOOO happy now (i did the process twice just to make sure it worked...
but it worked the first time anyway)....i was going insane with this noise and finally figured it out like 2 months after and i was like "i dont wanna take it apart to fix this!!"....then a friend told me this easy trick and basically it fixes itself... and it takes like 20mins of letting you car sit....plus, if you do it this way you dont need to realign your car like you should after removing/reinstalling the struts!
1. park somewhere (preferrably flat area)
2. jack your car up on the front just enough so both your front wheels are off the ground (use jackstands or bricks and wheelchocks or sumn for safety please...)
3. open hood and use prop rod
4. loosen strut nut from strut mount just enough so the nut is off the strut mount (the single nut inside the hose where the strut brace is, NOT the 3 or any of the 3 around it)
5. get some oil (engine oil or gearlube works best), fill the hole to the top
6. let it sit, it may take around 10-15 mins, its gonna just seep thru the bolt hole and lubricate all the bearings and rubber in the mount...you may get some oil on your strut on the bottom, its ok and normal...you also may need to come by every 5 mins or so and turn the wheel lock to lock a couple of times to help it seep thru
7. retighten strut bolt TIGHTLY, and properly, and lower your car
8. drive around not going crazy about your noise!
let us know if you did it and how it works for ya!
