Ok, this is very weird.....

When I start up my car, put it in reverse, and then TURN THE STEERING WHEEL NEARLY ALL THE WAY (left or right) as I back out.....I hear a clunk from the right front area of the car. I also feel it in the steering wheel, so I'm guessing it's transmitted from whatever is connected to the right front wheel.
It happens about 5-6 feet into the reverse, and I noticed it's louder and feels worse when going down on a slope...like when backing out of a driveway.

Now, the weirdest part is it ONLY happens when the car has cooled....say at least an hour.

The car drives fine and the suspension feels great. It never happens when driving.

I only have 1,000 miles on my warranty so I want to get this fixed for free. I alreadY went to the dealer, but for some reason that day and a couple days following, the car decided not to do it.

Anyways, much help is appreciated!! Thanks in advance!

 

Don't keep/turn your wheel FULL LOCK!
Probably not good for the Power Steering pump, driveshafts/CV joints or the LSD.

 

check your CV joints for any extra play or messed up boots first along with making sure your wheels are tq to 83ft-lbs

 

happens to me too!!!

 

check cv boots

 

Could it be the ball joint?

 

My 2003 RSX-S steering "clunks" when I first apply some torque to the steering wheel (forward, reverse; doesn't matter) -- like yours, only after the car has sat a bit. Haven't been able to figure it out yet. Did you ever figure out your problem?

P.S. Mine has 22k miles on it -- started with the clunking sound at 20k miles.
