Clicking??
Sometimes when I make sharper turns either left or right, I get this click from the front suspension. What is this?? Thanks!!

I'm not sure what it is, but I can tell you that a friend of mine has the same problem with his "91 RS. It doesn't seem to be affecting the car at all though so maybe it's just some small little technical thing.

It might be the brake calipers/pads. I had the same problem on mine. I think there are some tabs that you can bend or something to get rid of it. I just replaced my pads, and its fine now. If its this, its not a problem, just an annoyance.

Yes, it still corners the same but clicks alot. It is annoying.

Yup. I have the same problem on my 92 RS. It makes an annoying sound when the wheel is turned all the way. I wouldn't describe it as a clicking sound, but I don't know how else to put it in words. The car has had it since I've owned it, which is about 2 yrs.

thinking about it, I always had this problem on my 91 camaro, no matter what I did, and I did have it on my TA too, but i changed the brake pads and it went away. Thats weird.

Hmmmmph, I could use new brake pads. I don't get how that would fix that click sound when cornering though.

Well, the clicking I had, was the tabs on the brake pad were rubbing on something when I cornered. It was catching on something, I dont know what though. But like I said before, I heard you can bend the tabs on the pads, and it should go away. I didnt know exactly what to look for, nor did I want to bother since I needed new pads anyway, so I just got new ones. Search the board for this and you will probably find something. Sorry I'm not more help!
