I have a terrible hammer sound when turning to park the car after the car heats up. In cold it does not sound. I change the front right drive shaft but the sound continues. I want a possible diagnose before continuing changing parts that I am not supposed to. Do you know what the noise may be.

It started after an abusive mechanic repaired the steering system bar.

If it started after replacing a par then have the front end checked out it may be bolts loose or something similar. We can't hear the noise so it's best to have a reliable mechanic check the front end and hear the sound.
