My car has developed a clicking sound when steering near lock at low speed or stopped. I had a ranger come out. He checked it out and said it’s probably suspension and should be taken in, suggesting sway bar links and/or upper control arm ball joints. He also said it is not the loose steering rack issue.
2014 S85 with coil suspension, 80,000 miles.
I’ve got some time on my hands so I removed a sway bar link and it seems really “sloppy” to me. I’d imaging the ball joints should be quite a bit stiffer.
I made a short video of my link and I am wondering what you guys think.
Any help would be really appreciated.
Before the steering click began, the car did seem to have a subtle knocking
sound when driving at low speed on rough surfaces.
I did do the 12-6 test, jacking the car and trying to rock the wheel while holding it at 12-6 o’clock, to test the ball joint play and found none, but I’m going to look into that more.
