Clunk .. ! sound.

Hi all mates ..

In my 951 I get one clunk sound in front, I thought is a suspension but not sure about. Specific when the suspension flex ? entering my parking, closed turn for example ..

But I see all thinks normal under my Porsche ..

It could be the following:

-worn tie rods
-steering rack on its way out
-loose sway bar mounts

Check your sway bars and ties rods first by wiggling them. Usually tie rod ends wear causing a knock or jittery feeling in suspension too.

I'd check the castor bushing at the back of the control arm also. Mine made a funny clunking sound when the rubber started to decaying.
