Any ideas before I book it in to be looked at? Seems to come from front right side although I know it could transfer from anywhere, only does it at start/pull away, no specific driving just when first moved after stopping and not just cold but during journeys too?

Clunking noise from hard turning usually points to a CV joint being dry and worn out.

Does it sound anything like this on my car? I had drive shaft replaced which made it a bit better, then had wheel bearing and hub replaced and sound disappeared.

I had this, the clip holding the CV boot on wasn't secured correctly from factory. All the oil leaked out and had to replace the whole joint. Only made the sound around car park speeds at full locked but it got progressively worse.

Creaking noise when turning the steering wheel Inspection Service

Under ordinary circumstances, turning your steering wheel shouldn’t cause any unusual noise. It should simply direct your car in the direction you want to go.

How this system works

Your car’s steering and suspension system is very complex, and it’s all interconnected in one way or another. Turning your steering wheel engages the power steering rack, which requires the pump and belt to be in good condition, and that there is plenty of fluid in the system.

Common reasons for this to happen

Worn Shocks/Struts: Your shocks and struts are most likely the gas-filled type. They’re good at what they do, but they do wear out. If you’ve noticed fluid on the side of one of your front shocks, chances are good that it’s blown and needs to be replaced.

What to expect

A top-rated mobile mechanic will come to your home or office to inspect your car’s steering and suspension system in order to diagnose the creaking noise you’re experiencing. The mechanic will then provide a detailed inspection report that includes the scope and cost of the necessary repairs.

How it's done

The mechanic will inspect your steering and suspension system, including the power steering rack, pump and belt, tie rods, ball joints and more. It may be necessary for the mechanic to test drive the car to verify the complaint and pinpoint the origin of the sound.

How important is this service?

A creaking sound when turning your steering wheel may be nothing more than a sign that your suspension system needs lubrication, but it may be a sign of something more serious, including tie rod damage, power steering rack damage, or a failing strut/shock.

How can we help?

Our service team is available 7 days a week, Monday - Friday from 6 AM to 5 PM PST, Saturday - Sunday 7 AM - 4 PM PST.
