Clicking noise when making full turns! (95 850) 850

Hi, all,

My car had incidence of leaking power steering fluid; but the leaking has never been regular, so I don't understand why. Recently, I notice the clicking noise coming from the right front wheel when I making a full or close to full turns. Did anyone experience the same problem? What could be wrong? Thank you in advance for your inputs.

    Intermittent P/S fluid leakage is probably from the steering rack.

    Clicking while turning hard is probably one or more worn out C/V joints.

    Only close inspection would tell for sure.

      Chris and John,

      Thanks much for your inputs. Is it possible that you could describe how I can inspect closely of the potential problem? If professional help is needed, how much it will cost me to get inspection done and possibly the CV joints replaced. Thanks.

      Puhong

    The first thing to check would be the CV joints. It is likely that one of them (probably the outer) is bad.
