    Bang on turning the wheel

    Hi guys,

    Gained a bang this morning when turning the wheel at standstill and moving slowly.

    Any thoughts, csounds as if it is coming from drivers side.

    I bet its the suspension spring twisting and then popping a bit as it hits its retainers top and bottom.
    I had this on mine when the front camber was set to max digging the inside of the wheel in to the ground.
    Just needed to tighten up the promounts a touch and change the camber so it was not so brutal.
    If you jack up the car on the side that is making the noise you should be able to tell if the spring has any "left - right" play in it.

        i second what Bo says, one of my springs was not seated properly causing a similar bang/twang.
        Did you manage to get the legs off ok with that hex tool?
