Hi, I am starting to respect the Italian Gremlins.

When I turn slowly on a tight turn (who turns fast on a tight turn) I generally hear a noticeably "clunk". It's not linear, i.e. if I make a tight, slow turn it does not happen immediately, consistently, like a grinding but may occur after turning 30 degrees. for example. then "clunk". It seems to come from the front wheels but I think I've heard it in the rear wheels before now. This seems to be a common complaint in cars in general.

I am getting my front pads/discs changed this week and will ask for them to take a look for obvious issues. I thought I'd flag it here so you can all tell me how fooked I am;).

My old volvo did something similar... turned out to be track rods and drop links.
