Car park clunk!

[SimonH]

Afternoon all, just a quick question. When I was driving into the multi-storey carpark at work today I noticed that as turn to go up the ramp to the next level up (which is a right hand turn) there is a clunk noise coming from somewhere, not too sure where, which occurs as just after the front right wheel (effectively the leading wheel) goes up the slope. Is this something to be concerned about or is it one of those 'they all do that sir' moments? I've had a good look under the car and can't see anything too untoward going on. Anyone got any ideas?? Thanks in advance, Simon

sounds like you need to grease your steering stops.
have a search on here for a pic.

Search no more.......


the part in the yellow circle needs a big blob of multi purpose grease on it.

Not sure if it is cos I'm not on full lock at the time of the noise, but I'll give them a slap of grease and see if it makes a difference. Thanks, Simon

It will be the steering stops!

They are adjustable, so although the steering wheel isn't up against it's 'stop', the actual steering stops will be.

I'll get out the grease and get slapping on!

There are two of those per wheel that need greasing, BTW. That one at the front, and one at the rear.

Just as an addendum, I also find that copper slip/ease works better and lasts longer than grease.
