I hear an loud banging noise when I turn. but if I don't accelerate while turning I don't hear any noise. its only happens when i turn my car to the right and accelerate. I might be brake pads or my tires are aligned badly. My car moves to the left with i don't touch the steering wheel. i am pretty shure its a brake problem....Also. Everytime I start my car it goes dead. I chaged my air filter, cleaned my throttle body, changed spark plugs, and changed fuel filter. once it gets started it runs fine. its just when I start it it runs retarted. I have to floor it to keeop it from going dead. i hope someone knows what it wrong with my damn car.

 

On a rear wheel car I would say a drive shaft.. But on your car it would be a CV or shock tower..

 

My firend had a vw jetta that was old. It made a banging feeling when turning either way, sort of almost like a jerking feeling. Maybe like driving on rims and hitting rocks. Well a week later the tranny was shot. My old car a cavalier, the same thing happened. It could be something else though, thats just my experiences.

 

Inspect your CV boots for leaks or tears. Your half-shafts (drive axles on a fwd vehicle) may need replacement. Continued driving of the car in it's current condition could do damage to the transmission if left unrepaired. Don't wait - it could get much more expensive.

 

it has 160k miles on it Ed
I also think its the cv boots, the part with your car moving to the left... well thats all Maximas, mine goes to the right but a alignment will help.
