Clonking on full lock
Hi all
i have been experiencing some noise from my front end, it started off as a creek/clonk every now and then when i was parking but now is seems more regular CLONK........CLONK......CLONK and the wheels feel like they judder when this happens.
Normal driving feels fine this only happens at low speed on or near full lock.
Im going to have a look at the weekend does anyone have any advice on what to check. thanks and i hope you all have a good christmas.

I've had something similar on our 05 WRX wagon and took it in to the dealers to get it looked at. They're competent guys who know their Scoobies well.
Unfortunately, the car wouldn't do it when I tried to demonstrate the problem but the senior mechanic said, "Does it feel like you're going over a rock?" "That's exactly how my wife described it when she first experienced it", I replied. The mechanic said it's a known problem; he gets it driving cars off the ramp in the service bay sometimes; Subaru know about it, don't know what causes it, but not to worry about it. I've recently fitted new tyres (F1 Asymmetrics) and the clonk seems to have gone away.
