It started as a occasional clunk in my steering column. In assition now there is a serious clunk under the car when I turn it to or out of a drive way or when there is a torque and twist on the wheels. If I pull straight in our out, no clunking. I’ve been told it might be my bushings. What do you think? ---

Were You Told The Bushings Were The Hydro Mounts (Rubber Mounts) Of The Torque Struts ? Does It Clunk Or “Knock” Wih The Steering Turned To Just Short Of Full Lock With Brakes Applied ? There’s a MB Technical Service Bulletin on this topic. It’s certainly a possibilty. There are others I can think of including bad bushings (bearings) / mounts at the top of front struts. Who told you that bushings might be bad ? CSA ---

Just a friend of mine told me that works on cars. It is a clunk but the brake don’t need to be applied for it to happen. For instance going around a slight turn with a depression in the road. If I am going straight over a depression on pot hole not clunking.
