clunk when turning - rd070707 - 14-07-2013
So I have a pretty nasty clonk that I get from both front sides it seems when I turn at low speed. I would call it a clonk although it almost sounds like a ping.
It doesn't make the noise when cornering at any speed
When turning and feeling the top mounts you can feel a little vibration through them.
any ideas?

Are you running coilovers?

How low would you class low speed? I've got a similar sort of knock from what I can gather from your description, mine can be there anywhere up to 40ish. Been chasing it for a while now, changed the top mounts/strut/springs, droplinks, wishbones, and will be changing the arb bushes next weekend as long as I get them sometime this week.
Although, reading your post again, if it's "pinging", I'd be inclined to think top mounts, but I'm not a professional like Dum-Dum, so i could be wrong.

well yeah it is like a pinging, and yeah man its got coils in it but dont know which ones tbh, but at a glance pretty sure the helpers are out. next step might be to just swap my good coilies/ top mounts for these ones

Don't. First, get some grease in and around the areas the spring seats. The pinging clunking noise is the springs binding as you turn the wheel. Perfectly normal for a lot of coilies, especially cheap ones without bushes fitted to allow the springs to move.

Sure its not top mount bearings?
RE: clunk when turning - Piggy - 14-07-2013
top mount bearings wouldnt normally ping...
that ping as pellowe said is the springs skipping in their seats
RE: clunk when turning - rd070707 - 14-07-2013
Ah right, so some grease should shut it up? may just fit mine as they are newer anyway

I used to get the ping, but that was because I had one coilover higher than the other(so it looked same on both arches). Set em both level and no ping since.
Although one side sits slight higher ;(
