Default Its been raining and my car's been giving out a "CLUNK" sound when the steering wheel turns

Usually its when I turn the wheel to the left, but sometimes it does both ways, whenever I'm manuevering the car, I hear a "clunk" sound come out from steering shaft.

What is the problem here? Is my suspension shot? Or is it something more significant?

I have no mods in the suspension, my only mod are the stratmosphere replicas, but I havent changed the wheel diameter so there shouldnt be problems there.

The car drives fine, its only when I'm turning the steering wheel to the limit that the car gives out this noise, like its hurting.

Someone experienced this? Any help is much appreciated, thanks guys

Me TOO!!! At first I thought it was the A/C motor redirecting airflow.

Default I just had a similar problem fixed....

Mostly when backing up and turning the wheel (coming out of garage) and under hard braking, I would get a clunk/heavy click sound that I could feel in the floor under my feet. Turns out there was a loose frame bolt that holds two parts of the sub-frame together (dealer explanation) that needed to be tightened. Problem is gone.
