i was driving my car the other night and i did a first gear pull and spun completely thru it but now when i turn my steering well right it makes a loud clunking noise any suggestion? is it an axle or my tranny.
So far the relpies have been awesome on this thread
A clunking is remonicent of a few things....ball joint....tie rod....sway bar link....
A thumping/popping noise is usually a....bad strut mount....or blown strut
A clicking is a ...CV joint/axle....or stearing gear
A roaring sound on the hwy is typically a wheel bearing
you can check balljoints and tie rods for play in them by using a crow bar when tires are off or pulling up/down left right on tire when car is jacked up. You can check sway bar links visually and with a little tug. I think using a crow bar to check for loose suspension components is the best thing, just don't pry on it so much that you break something.
Hope this narrows it down a bit
