HELP - clonk from steering!

[black kro]

got a clonk/creak from drivers side steering - most noticeable when reversing off drive at angle or slow turns on uneven ground.

sods law, it started the day before I got 17s and lowered suspension fitted!

any ideas?

will Reno try and void my warranty & blame the mods?

 

[black kro]

no one had similar probs??

Bearing? Thats what Citroen reckon is causing the similar creak on my missus brand new C8

Jack it up and try and rock the wheel if it moves itll be the bearing, other than that it could be the CV joint.

Yep my CV boot is going and Ive been told to expect a nasty clunk when steering when it really needs doing

Got a similar problem on my month old 172. Only seems to happen when I turn to the right over uneven ground. Local dealer had a look and reckoned there was a mod they could do to fix it which meant it had to go into the bodyshop (didnt specify what was to be done). This was done 2wks ago and was quiet for a week but has now reappeared.

If you find out anything I would be interested to know.
