Clunking when steering

Jan 01, 2007 4 Replies

Hi I went out in the car ( L reg Mondeo) this morning and after a few hundred yards heard and felt a thud like qwhen you run over something and it catches the underside of the car. I took no notice as I thought that was what happened but 10 miles further on the same thing happened again. I got out the car but could see nothing wrong but when I turn the steering wheel fully one way or the other a definate clunk can be heard. The car handles alright when running just this noise. Could it be the shock absorber springs or something else. Regards Pete


check your front road springs, you possibly might have a broken one.

Broken spring, worn balljoint/trackrod end.

broken anti roll bar link

yes sounds like roll bar, my old bluebird broke one bracket and lost the rubber bush so made clunking sound especially when turning which is similar to what you described
