I would start with jacking it up , check play left / right and up down , then have a good look at the coil spring and top mount .

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

On my new to me C4S I'm discovering that if I have almost full right lock on, and then pull away I often get what I can only describe as a 'clunk" sound. I can't tell if it's ns or os. Certainly from the front. It happens from a stationary position, e.g pulling out of a parallel space. It can also happen at slow speeds, e.g., swinging the car around in a car park. I'm pretty sure it's not tyre slip... The sound is quite 'hard" and short. Tyre slip that I have experienced is more of a dull sounds, and something you almost 'feel" rather than hear. I took a video of it: https://youtu.be/KMp0Y0JginA Watching the video I noticed that it looks like I turn a little more just as the clunk sound happens.

POST 2Original post

Difficut to tell from the video but clunks on near full lock would make me think CV joint.

POST 3Original post

It kinda sounds like a coil spring is slipping against the stop of the shock absorber .. its a very loud , harsh metal on metal . I would start with jacking it up , check play left / right and up down , then have a good look at the coil spring and top mount . just as a favour though .. check all the wheel bolts are tight both sides .

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

deMort - interesting you should say that. One of the queries that my Indy had when they PPId the car was that there was some play in the front top mounts. However, they were both replaced by 9e a couple of years (and only several thousand) miles ago. I rang Ken at 9e who said that there shouldn't be any play, and that if the boots were not damaged torn etc then they should be fine. I chalked it up as a difference of opinion between the Indies when it comes to the definition of play in the mounts. So maybe there is enough play to cause this? If it's that, how can it be explained given the mounts are so new? Anyway, it's due a service so I guess I'll ask my Indy to investigate. Gulp. (I'll check the wheel bolts with a torque wrench)
