clicking/knocking sound when turning ?
if i turn one way and then quickly turn the other way, there is a distinct click/knocking sound ... what could this be caused by ? the car doesnt feel any different, i just here that sound
btw i drive a 00 em1 riding on a stiff suspension, if that helps any

Could be just the wheel hitting something. I once almost replaced a differential, turned out a plastic panel behind the rear wheel got loose ))))
First lift the car on jack (and jack stand!) and see if anything looks okay. No lost bolts and nuts, move suspention parts by hand, nothing should be loose. See if the drive axle is sitting in place, you should not be able to move it back and fourth.

Re: (SSn)
i guess ill have to get it checked out later this week ...
i drove in the crazy rain the past few days, drove over some deep puddles which basically ripped off my fender guard ... i just pushed it back out so it wouldnt scrape the ground, could that have something to do w/ it ? my car is tucking 4 wheels
i replaced a bad axle a few months ago, it doesnt knock while turning like it did last time when i had a bad axle ... could it be something w/ the steering rack ? or bushing ? i know my upper control arm bushings have gone to **** ... could that cause sounds like that ?
btw, the clicking/knocking sound isnt consistent or repeating, it just knocks once then stops ...

Ya, maybe your guard is not in all the way and is rubbing, look for rub marks.
also check to see if you have a torn CV boot. Thats a good indication of a failing CV joint

Well if you don't want to pay $60 for a diagnostic, read the thread. These guys are telling you how to check and see what's wrong with the car. And there's a difference between axle and cv joints/boots, which is what it sounds like your problem is. One of my cars has a going cv joint, and under hard turning, it pops.

thanks for all the help so far ...
if it is the cv joint/boot, can i just replace that ? or do i have to replace the whole axle ? how much will it cost to get done at a shop ?
