Thread: hello. from yakima washington

any help fellas

So the noise is coming from like behind the steering...does the clanking sounds louder when you accelerate? Does it sounds while in idel(on but not moving)? Does it sound when you turn? Or does it sounds when the car is moving?

yea its right behind my wheel and it only happens when i turn it..

sorry for the late response.

Bring it to me I'll fix it

If is only while you turn it sounds to me like it can be your axle, bushings, or your sway bar link.

yea but the sound is DIRECTLY behind my steering wheel

Well, the any other thing I can think is a little funny...lol...but may be it is what you are hearing is the little weight that is inside the steering wheel where the air bag is. Is probably broken and thats the clanking noise you hear when you turn your steering wheel. That weight I believe is to balance out the steering wheel from vibration. Only way to find out is by opening the side of the steering wheel and look inside with a flashlight and see if you see the weight.

^^^^^thats exactly what it is and how important is it...and thanks by the way

we all toss that weight it's some sort of damper. not needed to my knowledge

You welcom bud that's what we here for to help.
