| Component | STEERING |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | It started while driving if you hit a bump in the road, go over rail road tracks, speed bumps ect. It would make a clunk sound. Then it got more frequent. Then it started to make the clunk sound when turning and now it makes the sound while driving and you turn the wheel or sitting still turning the wheel. The sound is made when you first start to turn the wheel moving or stationary. The steering has a lot of play as it has gotten worse. I believe this will become dangerous and loss of control could be possible. |
