My car started to make noises like clunking in the front when I turn,step on my brakes, or speed up while passing. It mostly makes the noise when turning or stepping on the brakes. The steering wheel just jumps out of my hand at times pulling towards the right. If you are making a sharp left hand turn (like a u-turn) you have to manually turn the steering wheel back to the right otherwise you would just go in a complete circle

Hi there,

i would be getting the steering rack, tie rods, ball joints or top strut plate bearings checked as one of these will be you problem, don't leave it, as if a steering component fails, this will be very serious.
