Holy crap. After I changed my oil today ( I did leave a worldly post) I noticed as Im turning the steering wheel back and forth I hear a clanking . Now I know that shouldnt be there .
In sand or on pavement, engine off , pulling steering wheel left or right theres definitely a distinct clacking noise . I dont have to turn the wheel all the way , maybe 6-8"either way.
Also if I turn the steering wheel all the way to the right or left theres a clunk when I turn to the max travel of the steering wheel .
What the hell is going on with that ?

I have a small aluminum cheater bar that slides nicely on to the ratchet and I snug up the drain plug without torquing out my shoulder or other body parts.
You left the cheater pipe under there, or it's your elbow and/or shoulders acting up.
Account for all tools used. Think about work you might have done (additional to the oil change) that was in the vicinity of the steering system.

Hey dip Shiite the oil change has nothing to do with the steering noise . Learn how to read Moron
Tell ya what - every time you make some stupid juvenile title for views, I'll call you out on it. OK?

moose knuckles
A man's version of a camel toe. The result of wearing spandex, or pants that are way too tight--resulting in an unsightly bulge of his junk.

Well okay , I'll go along with that . I'll see what else I can come up with. Just dont put to much thought in to it . Im sure you couldnt anyway. You are just no fun at all there . Is it Windex or Spandex ? Moose Knuckle is not about a mans junk , maybe in your world
