Knocking or clunk sound while turning - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I hear a big cluck or knock up front from what seems to be the wheel well area when I make sharper turns than usual. I've search and haven't found anything. Any ideas?

Cv joints.

It could be something as stupid as a bent heat shield on your brake rotors catching/rubbing suspension parts. Take the tire off and have a look.

Wrong forum.

Constant velocity joints while turning would apply to FWD vehicles.

^^^Hes right, what are you thinking?!

Anyways check your struts. I have one blown coil over on my passenger front, and when i make turns it sometimes knocks on me.

When i use to run a different exhaust it use to knock when i made right turns. I thought it was my wheel or bearing or something but it was just the exhaust hitting the heat shield.

Maybe it's the plastic lining in your wheel well. Mine came unbuttoned while driving down the highway once and scared the hell out of me. I thought my wheel was going to fall off or something. It actually jiggled the car a bit.

It could also be that your strut gaskets ar worn and the struts rub against the mounting area.
