Parked my Golf V5 at a furniture warehouse today and had to park up a kerb with both front wheels up the kerb (perpendicular to the pavement), when I reversed off the kerb I got a usual clunk as the underside of the car grounded as it came off the kerb (nothing new there), after this though I now have a knocking noise when I turn either hard left or right such as going right round a mini round about.

I'm not sure if I have clunked part of the steering mech and have now got something out of alignment or have clunked part of the car underside which is now catching on the trackrod arms etc.

I have yet to get under the car, but have checked both track rod arms and peered into the centre of the underside as best as I can.

Main Question is has this happened to anybody else ??


Or any ideas!

With Thanks

Jeremy

Probably track rod ends, jack the front end up, take the wheels off a see if there is any play in the track rod ends.
