When turning the steering wheel while the car is stopped or moving very slowly a loud clunking / popping noise is heard from the front of the car. The dealer was contacted prior to the 36,000 warranty no diagnosis was made and was told it was probably nothing to worry about. The noise is still prevelant and the warranty is now past. As I was trying to find out for myself what the possible problem could be I found several other incidents with the same symptoms, however no one has been able to tell me exactly what the problem is or how to fix it.
