Hi guys ive had this problem for a while now and is the only thing left to have it as best i can basically its an intermittent click 2-3 times only when turning right from a stand still with front wheels turned and only happens 3-4 times in a 80 mile journey and also its very hard to replicate the noise unless the car wants to lol ive replaced basically:- driveshafts,cv boots,drop links,track rod ends,struts,springs,strut top mounts including bearings,arb bushes,wish bones,and every thing is as tight as can be and was wondering if anyone has any advise on what to do next lol it doesnt affect the way the car dives but i have read on google that some cars have u-joint bolts does mine have any ? And could they be loose and also my passenger side drop link rubber sits funny and fells like its under pressure and when i changed the wish bone it pinged off lol??????? I carnt see it being diveshaft as ive had that noise before and the noise now isn't constant. Plz help guys ..............

You may need to centralise the anti roll bar if one of the drop link is under a lot of tension. I don't know if that would cause a noise though?
You could also try tensioning the lower arm through bolt, as this needs to be really tight sometimes to stop it clunking.
Rack bushes worn? Rack clamp loose?

Yes mate i do about 800 miles a month only fitted 4 months ago lol and will loo into that rowdy cheers but had it on my mechanic lift for an hour checking and double checking and he says that there is nothing out of place ,worn,or on the way out and i tried to replicate the noise for him on a drive but i never did it lol just my luck ,.......just going to buy some ear defenders lol
might be paranoia; thought my wheel bearing was on the way out again but my mate reckons its just road noise; drive it until it gets worse and then deal with it. I think if you've had a number of problems then you will automatically be expecting something to go wrong (or at least that's how it goes some of the time I think)
