Why does my Subaru make a clunking noise when turning sharp?
This is a manual vehicle and it started the noise at about 145,000 miles and it has to warm up before it starts the noise. The clunking noise gets faster when we make sharp turns at higher speeds. I have definantly been stumped by this one. The mechanic replaced the axleshaft on the passanger side.
Why does my car clunk when I turn the wheel?
Could be cheep or really expencive. The reason that you are getting different answers is that it is kind of an unusual problem. CV joints typically click rather than “clunk”. And they usually make the same noise whether warm or cold. But they do only act up when the wheels are turned sharply and few other things would do that.
What causes steering wheel to come off in Subaru?
Most likely it will just get worse over time and eventually leave you stranded. But, a lot of things in the suspension other than CV joints that can clunk, can cause the steering to fail, a wheel to come off, or other things you really don’t want to happen. I think you need to try another mechanic.

What causes the rear differential to bottom out on a Subaru?
The trademark Subaru Diff-Clunk occurs when the differential rotates on it’s mounts, and causes the differential subframe to bottom out on the body of the car. It MOSTLY occurs in manual transmission equipped cars when driving hard (fast shifting). Do you have more information about WHEN it happens, and maybe a location of the noise? 2001 SOLD!
How to stop a Subaru Impreza from clunking?
If you don’t use your hand brake, try it, engage the hand brake, then put it in park (or vice versa) — either way and then let off the foot brake.
