Noise while hard corning
 
Hey Guys,
I searched here for the exact behavior but could not find and recent threads. Most of them were 5/6 yrs old.

Since last few months while turning left or right I am getting a strange noise. It ONLY happens during hard cornering , like sharp left above 20/30 mph.
It wasn't there before. I noticed after I installed the Rear Strut Brace in my trunk.
My Springs are pretty new. Stock springs . I bought them from another org member who upgraded to other springs
Monroe struts and shocks are 4K old.

Last week replaced front cv axles ( complete left and right . my right side was shot ). Complete brake ( front/rear ) as well as tier rod ends ( front left and right ). The noise is still there.

the noise seems to be coming from the right side. Its more of a spring type noise, like if you try to compress a spring and when it decompresses .

No leaks in struts. Checked one mechanic and mentioned they are still like new. Power steering fluid OK. When stopped, if I rotate steering all the way left right - the noise does not occur. It only happens on hard cornering which leads me to think its something related to suspension or axle components.

Any ideas ?

make sure mount plate at top of spring is properly aligned.
make sure all bolts are tight.

welcome in the noise club, been having a clunk for 5 months.

What was the issue with your axle ?

my CV boot was badly leaking...so replaced everything..
And one more thing forgot to add : I don't hear that noise in straightline driving even if I drive hard on speed bumps or path holes..its only when cornering..
