    The sound is more prominent when I am parked or not moving very fast, but i get clicking noises when I turn my wheel all the way to the left or right. Anyone had a similar problem?

    When sitting still?


    If Dave feels 60% throttle is 100%, what does he tell his wife.

    The only time I hear it is when the car is not moving very fast or is at a standstill, anything faster than 7 or 8 mph and I can't hear it but that could be because of the engine roar.

    Can you tell where the clicking noise is originating from?

    Did you check to see if it's coming from your front struts? I have seen many that it was coming from the strut mount/bearings.

    I have the same exact problem with my 04 GT, when your in park and you crank the wheel all the way left or right you get a click noise (usually just one click) I have been trying to figure it out for months and I took it to get checked out and was told its my Rack and Pinion, was told sometimes you get a broken tooth on a gear and it will cause that noise. Gonna take it to dealer to see what they say..just to make sure. the car drives fine with no issues otherwise.

    ball joints and lca bushings all go bad and cause clunking sounds. as well as the strut mounts.

    could also be real bad tie rods. sway bar bushing and end links make noise also when bad.

    the only and best thing to do is to jack up the car pull a wheel, and inspect all the parts.
