Ok so I have no idea what this one could be so if anyone has any ideas let meknow. When I turn my wheel ALL the way to

the right or ther left it makes like a clicking sound. I swear I have read this before but cant remember what it could be. The

other thing I have a problem with is, when I am driving and go over like a bump the rear suspension sounds like im hitting

a train track to give you an example of the sound it makes any ideas on either of these would be helpful

Thanks in advance

sounds like a loose nut or bolt somewhere.

Get it up on a lift and start feeling the nuts and bolts for tightness, shake things, tap things to see if it makes any noise. Get a 10,12,14,17 and 19mm socket, socket wrench and adjustable wrench and start tightening bolts as a check.

I had (might still have, haven't really been paying attention lately) a similar sound with my steering, it would make a similar click sound when the wheel was turned all the way. My entire suspension is new (tie rods, etc) so I thought maybe it has something to do with that, but I dunno.

Clicking during a tight turn would be a CV joint most likely. Doubtful a ball joint or something loosened up since they rust on pretty much.

Thing with the rear sounds like strut mounts

^CV joint would make sense in my case, I remember having issues with it last year but can't remember if my husband replaced it or not, I'll have to ask him.

And yeah, I had similar noises with blown struts. Gave me an excuse to get intrax struts, lol.

that banging noise could be something as simple as your rear sway bar links.

I have the same problem with the loud metal-sound banging. In my case, it's bad strut mounts.

I was told that the first thing that I should check it the boot on the front. Supposedly they go bad more frequently then the cv joints do any thoughts on that? And bad struts for the back sounds right, considering the clanking when they have to adjust.

Yeah, check the boot, it likes to rip. And you don't want sand or dirt getting in there. A temporary fix until you can change the boot is to wrap it in plastic bags and clamps so that the hole is covered. Again it's just a temporary fix, I had to do that to mine.
