When I was at the track on Saturday night, I noticed this "clunking" noise coming ever time I gave the steering wheel a quick turn. Whether the car was on or off, if I were to give the wheel a quick turn in either direction. It almost sounds like something's loose somewhere along the column...I changed my spark plugs earlier that day, and I wonder if it's possible I may have knocked somethign loose in the steering colum when working on the driver side plugs near the column. I wish I could give a better description of the noise; I checked for this noise on no less than 3 other F-bodies while at the track, and none made this noise. Any ideas anyone? Thanks.

May need to check your ball joints and tie rods! Ya can also check the steering shaft going to the rack!Maybe ya find it!

Did you fix the prob? I've had the same prob, it comes about when im parking, kinda annoying.

LT1Formula26

no i haven't fixed it. it is more common to happen when i accelerate from a stop and even more apparent when im accelerating and turning...really annoying.

im a dumbass, when i replaced the manifold gaskets and took the headers off i had to take apart the steering column, when i put it back on i put the steering column lower than usual and the head was touching it and when i would accelerate, it would make the steering column vibrate. lol
