Default Any S4 masters available for a quick ride in my car to diagnose a clunking sound? In Northern VA.

The Mid-Atlantic regional forum wasn't much help.

When making right turns especially I get a clunking moaning sound. I do not get the sound while going straight, even if I brake hard, so I don't think my controls arms are completely shot. The sound also doesn't sound like a PS belt or pump so I don't think it's that. I threw the car on the lift and gave the front end a good shake and everything seemed intact. I can't figure out what's causing this sound but it's driving me nuts.

I live in Oakton, VA and work in Ballston.

Thanks,
Jacob

yeah check the cv joint i had mine replaced it was making a funny noise, watch out if your cv boots ripped, there will be grease everywhere, and it doesnt come off well!

I'll replace it for free if I can have access to your lift for free!
