| Description of the problem | When turning wheel sharply while in motion, car makes clicking noise that seems to come from the front wheel. This problem originally started around 60,000 miles when i first bought the car from a private party. I did not realize it was a problem at the time because for me, it had always made the noise. At first the noise only happened while in reverse. Not it happens any time the wheels are turned fairly sharply and the car is moving in drive or reverse. Mileage is now about 85,000. |
