Wheel knocks when turning the steering back and gorth quickly.


Recommended Posts

When I turn my wheel back and forth quickly, (tires turnned to the Right) you can see the move back and forth slightly off center and hear clicking/knocking noise.

I didn't have time to go any deeper into it yet. The tie rod didn't move, had my hand on it and it didn't move. I'm suspecting its the ball-joint and or control arm bushings, thought?

 

Thx

Welcome to the site. How many miles on vehicle, model ?  How long have tires been in use; what is the wear pattern? Noise can be so many things.

 

Lower ball joints are very common wear item on journey front ends. Easiest test is tire off the ground and hands at 12 and 6 o'clock, for play. Shouldn't be up and down play.  While 3 and 9 oclock is good for tierod play testing.

Our 2014 needed driver side ball joint replaced at 50k miles or 75k ish kilometers. Quality of roads driven on make a difference. Earliest yr of journeys 2009-11 had the cheaper suspension parts. Later yrs much better.
