Clunk when turning left

Hello everyone.
I have a pretty loud pop noise when I turn left at 20 ish mph. OR sometimes if I break while turning I can also hear it.
I dont think it has happened turning right. It does sound like its coming from the driver side.
I think its the cv joint. What would cause my cv to make noise like that?
It happens in 2wd with the Cv's disconnected. I have not tried to hear in in 4wd cus its been dry here.

Thanks
Francois

 

Could be a bad anti-sway bar bushing, or steering rack bushing.
Gotta get under there and take a look.

 

Lower control arm bushing maybe. Or alignment cam needs tightened.

 

CV's would still make some noise, even if you're in 2wd as the wheels are still turning. just squat down with the wheels turned to the side a take a look at the CV boots from the side. if you can't see a tear, just slide your hand over the boot and feel for a bunch of grease. Mine have been torn but I never saw the tear in the folds of rubber.

 

My steering rack bushings are completely shot. The rack moves a lot when the car is jacked up and I move the wheels.
Im going to replace em see what happens.

No tear. Just installed em. But they did not make noise initially. This is a couple weeks after install.

I'll look into this thanks

No tear that I can see.

 

Did changing the steering rack bushings fix the issue? I'm having similar issues with my 2003 Tacoma double cab when i turn left driving slowly only like parking or reversing also I'm hearing popping noises while driving in the street around 20-30 mph. how did you test your steering rack? the bushings on mine look fine. But I am sure theirs a way to do a test on these. Appreciate the help...

 

Hey. The clunk is gone.
I didn’t pay attention to see if it was from the bushings. Long time ago now.
It’s really easy to check. You need 2 people or a camera. One person turning the steering wheel and one person/camera looking at the rack. The rack will violently move when you turn the wheel if bushings r bad.
Quick test.

 

Ok cool thanks for the tip ill do the test tomorrow, did you jack up the car for the test?

 

You should see it either way. Jacked up or on the ground
