Clunk on Full Lock

[jonboy]

Over the weekend the Clio has begun to make a loud Knock when turning the wheels into full lock or when I m in going up a bump (say onto a drive) with the wheels turned over half way. The noise seems to only come from the front right side. I suspect it might be something to do with a possibly knackered strut top bearing but wanted some opions before I start down the line of replacing it.

That what I hate about the dreaded clonk - its never easy to find the cause, always causes loads of hassle and when youve paid a garage a heap of cash to fix the problem they said it deffo was and it turns out not to be its not even their fault !!

Dreaded clonk = license to print money !!

there is a renault modification to strut tops etc which if done properley seems to work most of the time.mod is covered under renault warranty.

i had this problem with mine and had the work done under renault warranty..however didnt cure it so i have to wait until reanult themselves come up with a fix which to be honest will be never!!!
