Hi, been on this great site several times but i have never actually posted anything on here as the car has always been totally reliable and trouble free, until now.
I own a 2000 Fiat Bravo JTD SX, i recently had the clutch changed at my local garage. But ever since getting the car back, now and again if i turn the car sharply to the right at very low speeds i get a clunk sound coming from the passenger side of the car. It only does it when i turn the car right and sharpish (110 degree turn of the wheel. The car drives normally straight, round corners, etc, no wobble in steering wheel or car. Also i have noticed that my steering wheel is slight off centre aswell since getting my car back, i.e when going straight the wheel is slightly off to one side. If i turn the steering wheel full lock one way and make a note of its position and turn the steering wheel the opposite way and note its position i can clearly see the steering wheel goes further one way than the other.
I had the car back several times to the garage, they said they can't see anything wrong with it, in regards to the steering they say they never touched it. They had tightened the sub frame, mounts etc and checked everything they touched but still its clunking.
I really am running out of ideas. My friend assumes its the steering rack, but what would be the symptoms?
Please Help.
