sound when i turn all the way my steering wheel

I wanna know if this is normal, when i turn my steering wheel all the way i hear "click" from my struts or springs, the guy that installed he said that is normal cuz it is cold outside.... this happen only when it is cold outside... I have to worry about blown struts or not?

Not normal

Looks like there are alot of us having this issue.

It could be a few things.

CV joint or Stabilizer links. My mechanic told me that my stabilizer links needs to be replaced. I'll be calling DaveB soon to get a price.

I cant believe your mechanic said it's normal...

I had that prob with my 96, its the power steering belt. When its cold out the belt is tight and hard to strech and makes noise, when its warm it can strech just fine
