Click/Knock when turning left

[iamtall77]

okay so a about 2 weeks ago i noticed that when i turn left, it understeers-clicks and then over steers. it seems to be coming from uner my feet. sometimes when i turn right and hit a bump it will click and pulls left. i also noticed that it seems to wander on the highway. i looked at the CV boots and there are no tears and doesn't seem to be any excess play. i'm really not sure what is going on. my car is lowered on 2" Sprints and AGX struts. i haven't had any problems until 2 weeks ago. there is no grinding or whinning noises and doesn't do anything weird when driving (other than the wandering i noticed yesterday) i'd like to get this taken care of in case it's serious and my car wanders on the highway and causes a wreck.

thx
Jeff

check your steering rack. Bolts might have come loose. Also check your axle where it bolts to the block on the driver side front. Bolts might have come loose.

Get it to a front-end shop. This isn't something you can put off. Make sure they check the balljoints.

this is old news, but the problem was my axels. i replaced the passenger side and the noise stopped. then i replaced my driver side for good measure. the CV joints in the axles were worn, but with no visible signs. so, if you ever encounter your car clicking or cluncking when you turn, replace the axles. it's pretty cheap and can keep you from loosing more than just a few bucks. (like wheel bearings, or extreme cases where you might run off the road)
