2006 Yaris clicking/clunking when turning
I have a 2006 Yaris 1.2L (in the Czech Republic) with 28000 km and am starting to have a problem with a clicking or clunking when I turn. There are actually two sounds that happen under different conditions, which I'm not sure if they're related:
1) When I apply the brakes, start turning then release the brakes (common when I'm entering a traffic circle), I'll hear a click or clunk one or more times that sounds like metal under stress. The sharper the turn, the more likely it will click. Full lock turns might get three clicks. It happens more to the right, but also happens when turning left. 2) When backing and turning out of the parking lot in the morning and going over the small ledge in my apartment's parking lot to the street (it's a common lot with cars perpendicular to the road), there is a loud CLUNK as the wheel goes over the ledge. It happens when turning either direction. I'll have the car checked out at the dealership this week, but the service technician who answered my call initially said he thought it was the ABS. I really don't think that sounds like ABS as it doesn't need slippery conditions at all. I'd like to go in there prepared with information so I could suggest if they checked certain things or know if they say something whether they're blowing smoke or not. It's hard enough with the Czech language barrier! Anyone have any thoughts on what this might be and/or if these two things could be related? |
