My car causes a clunking/rattle noise when the steering wheel is turned most of the way to the right. This does not happen when turning to the left.

What part(s) might be worn out?

Good morning,

You may have a bad CV shaft on that side. The joint makes noise when under the load of a turn.

Did you have anyone look at it to confirm?

No, I haven't had it looked at yet. Just noticed it yesterday. Thanks for the links, I'll run through the symptoms checklist.

Have inspected with wheel off. Driver side outer tie rod has lots of play, and needs replacing. However, there is also lots of movement in the hub when I move the tire top/bottom and side/side. A lot of the movement is separate from the loose tie rod end, or any other ball joint. The hub also feels gritty when rotated. I had road noise - which I first thought was caused by my winter tires having improper inflation. My research suggests a bad hub, wheel bearing, or both.

Good find.

The bearing sounds like the issue.
