clicking sound coming from steering

tooch · 08-23-2015, 12:51 PM

I was wondering if anyone was experiencing any clicks in the steering while sitting still ( not rolling). When I turn my steering wheel lock to lock I get a click right before the locks going both ways. Anyone else notice this? cars lowered on KW V3, never been tracked. Thanks

I have had this happen a couple of times. Suspension is stock, so are the wheels and tires. It will do it about once out of five times and it only does it when I am first getting ready to start backing out of my garage. I have to turn slightly to avoid the edge of the driveway. After the first turn, I never hear it again. Since it is not doing it all the time, I am not sweating it.

Have a look at your end links, are they at the maximum articulation with the wheels turned?
