after turning a corner - (it needs to be a decent bend with at least 1/2 a turn of lock on) as i'm winding the lock off i feel a clunk through the steering column of my 1986 944 turbo with 133 k miles on the clock. in service history it shows a new rack has been fitted. i've recently done the track rod ends and this hasnt changed anything. any ideas - steering column , coupling shaft or rack? power steering by the way cheers mark |

Have a look at the upper steering universal joint (and the lower one for that matter). The top one is a bit near the exhaust manifold and tends to get a bit of a pounding as a result. |

could be either of the above, check to see if the steering shaft comes into contact with the exhaust manifold as you turn the steering wheel |

Does it do it when your parked? If so I would look at the strut top mounts, maybe the bearings have collapsed You did not mention this at the last club night |

i was being friendly - thats my line and i'm sticking to it. i did cut striaght to the chase and ask if she wants to join - she is obviously interested to some extent to turn up in the first place. i forgot to mention it - got distracted by the curry talk!!! the clunk is a lot less when parked but i can just notice it. after greasing the knuckle joint behind the heat shield on the coupling joint it did get better for a while - this leads me to think its this, plus the fact that they are well known to suffer a problem there. the strut top mounts were replaced when i did the poly bushes and koni inserts on the front suspension. cheers mark |
