I have a 00 gt and everytime I make a turn at really slow speed (pull into the driveway) i would hear a click or cling sound. It sounds like something is hitting the spring. any idea guys?

From the front, back, going over a bump? Tell us more...[/align]

from the front. when i turn the steering at very low speed. it seems like i only hear the click or cling at exactly the same radius.

oh yeah and only when i turn to the right. maybe around the 3/4 of the turning radius.

Repetitive or a single noise--if the former than I'd obviously suspect something hitting on something else--take the wheel off and see if you can spot any contact areas (shiny spots, or places where the road dirt is disturbed).[/align][/align]If it's a single noise then it sounds like some suspension component shifting in it mount--can you make it make the noise by rocking the steering wheel with the car stopped?[/align]

it's a single noise. you know how the sound of a spring pops? that's what it sounds like. this noise only occurs when i go over a bump while the wheel is turning to the right. if i go overa bump on a straight away i don't hear anything. i hear it everytime i pull into my drive way. and when i stop and turn the steering, i hear a sqeeking (not sure the spelling) noise.

Ashifting spring usually has a "springy" sort of tone, though not always...[/align][/align]What you are describing could also be the steering rack shifting in it's mounts. This is easy to check, have someone rock the steering wheel from sisde-to-side firmly (engine off) while you peeak up under the front bumper. If it's the steering gear then there's a TSB (05-14-3) that describes the problem and a fix.[/align][/align]You can also fix it yourself, here's a write-up I did...[/align]
