Have an audi cabriolet 1996. Has started to make a clicking noise from the back when I turn

any ideas what this may be and will it be an expensive repair?

what type of clicking noise ?, is it a clunk ?, a rapid tick?, a humm?, a mechanical clicking sound, a whiney clicking, a tearing click? is it 4wd ?, are you sure its from the rear? have you tried tightening all of the wheel nuts ?

Agree with that! Although cabbies were all FWD only.

I think I have got it wrong. The clicking appears to be coming from the front of the car and not the rear. Happens when I turn the steering wheel.
