I noticed click ( fine felt as rubber click) when turning wheel especialy in sharp u turn
it was noticed for 2 years and not change too much sice that time
also when iam stoping and turning wheel for 360 degree I feel it in both direction especialy when iam in stoping [with out motion] in irregular ground
it is one click only
I noticed strange thing yesterday when I change my tire 205/65l16r to new one which size is
225/45/18r that the click sound decrease or become unnoticeable
my question is what can cause the click sound
I make search and some
told intermediate shaft other cv joint and some say the bearing rubber of steering
what do u think when the sound decrease with changing tire
what next step to do?
thanx
