I have previously sought advice on the Forum regarding metallic ' clicking ' type sound particularly from front offside suspension area but when making slow speed sharp LH down turns , typically when parking.
We have replaced :

Both front drive shafts RH and LH
Drop link arm -RH only so far
Top bearing mount and suspension spring

'clicking sound still persists when turning sharply as one gets to full lock at slow speed and seemingly occurs on each partial revolution of the front RH wheel.
Any advice please as remedial action
Thanks





 
I cannot locate reply to my enquiry.

can you kindly direct me to where I can locate it.

i’m a digital ‘dinosaur’ so I may not be looking in the correct place for reply.

Many thanks,
chris
 
The only replies to your post are:
1. from tscaptain stating moved to 997 forum
2. your reply stating cannot locate etc.
3. This explanation
 
In reply, is it worse when tyres are cold and are you sure it's not just the tyres skipping on full lock?
 
i have physically checked and it is clearly nothing to do with tyres; cold or hot.
The sound is a 'metal to metal' type noise. This is what made me initially assume, wrongly , that it was possibly a
worn drive shaft issue , causing the intermittent noise seemingly occurring from area of front offside wheel when wheel revolving on tight ish Left Hand down slow turn , typically at parking or exiting manoeuvre.
In addition to both front drive shafts i have so far replaced:
RH top bearing mount and suspension spring
RH drop link arm
But noise still persists
What can i investigate further - possibly Steering rack and front differential?
Any advice would be appreciated.
