Should be a bit of in and out, needs to accomodate for the suspension movement. If the tripods are tight it sounds sort of normal.

Does it only click turning one way or the other? Does it happen sitting still or only moving?

If it only happens when moving it might just be a rub, have a good look in the wheel wells, it should leave some sort of mark.
If it happens while sitting still (and working the steering) it could be in the steering shaft / linkage. If you can get the front up on stands (please don't get under your car when its on a jack only) and have someone work the steering back and forth while you look and listen underneath you might be able to tell exactly where the noise is coming from.

Good luck and happy troubleshooting

Yeah, I've kinda got the same thing. If I turn my wheel back and forth whilst sitting still, I get a weird ass clicking and clunking noise.

I would bring it in for warranty, but I'm lowered on Sportlines.



I don't know what to do. It only started after I got lowered.

i think i figured my problem out:



1. Dont bring it to a vocational center
2. Torque down wheels after the instuctor told me he torqued them him self

I wish that was my problem. I have a $500 digital torque wrench, only a month old.

My problem must be different.

Glad yours is solved though man!

Yeeesh, loose lug nuts? Would not have thought of that!

Good thing you noticed something was not right before they became "missing" lug nuts....and lost wheel, and lost control
