clunk in steering column - Page 2 - SRT Forums

SRT-4 FIRE · 12-24-2003, 09:39 PM

mine did this a while back i thin kit was like the 4th SRT-4 to do it or some crap she said. it's just a tech kit that takes like an hour to put on !! no biggie

I referenced (#19-007-02) and they stated that it was only for the '03s.. The tech was able to duplicate the problem (the service manager stated that the tech disconnected the upper/lower steering linkage and turned the steering wheel and it still thunked/clicked). Got my car back (they had to repaint my hood as they backed into it) and the clicking is still there

Gotta take it in again and i'm hoping they will fix it properly this time.

no issues yet with that

icarus · 01-27-2004, 02:13 PM

Mine was never "fixed" with the kit.
Somehow is has disappeared with miles/time.

Just got the car back again from the dealership, (they replaced the column the first time) and they basically just tighted up the air bag assembly thing on the column as it was loose and causing the clunk). Clunk now gone.

I think the problem is your Radio. YOu dont have it loud enough.

HOpe you find the problem. I hate those lil hard to find gremlins.

Deezildennis · 05-04-2004, 08:39 PM

Well I started this thread so i geuss i'll chime.

I did the redneck fix.
mine clunked only when the wheel was turned in a certian direction.

I got pissed one day when it did it and I yanked really freaking hard on the steering wheel. Yeah I know pretty childish.

but geuss what? that was at 10k and it hasnt done it since and I 15k on it now.
My wheel was making the noise somewhere either in the sector shaft or at the column where it meets the wheel.

Either way, no more noise or rubbing sound, and feel.

turbo4life · 05-04-2004, 09:12 PM

Are you sure this problem is only with 03's? I seem to hear this clunk noise after turning the wheel at certain times, or after shifting into 2nd and 3rd gear. I pulled in the wheel and jerked a little left and right and was able to reproduce the sound.

funks · 05-04-2004, 09:38 PM

mine's an '04 and have the clunk at times problem.
