Everytime I turn the steering wheel to the right it makes a weird clanking sound. And I can feel it when my foot is on the brake. This started on Sunday(the car was in use all day), then stopped yesterday and now its come back again.

I know little of cars, make and model would be helpful those who do though.

EDIT: Thinking about it, friends did the same thing ages ago, was just worn cv joints.

Probably the CV joints. Potentially the steering rack, though I would bet it's something in the front suspension somewhere.

This is the crux of the problem.

Does it do it when you turn left as well? In reverse?

I like pie.

I should of left it home today. Almost hit an Auxillary cop cruiser while making a U-turn. The steering has gone to shit and is annoying.
