noise when turning wheels outlander 07 xls

when I backup from the my driveway and put it back in drive and turn the steering wheel back to put the wheels straight I have a noise that look like something hitting a heat shield of some kind and I can feel it under my right foot sometime went to the dealer they look and there's is nothing loose the tech told me that it maybe a bushing going back in is original place since apparently when they ship the outlander from Japan they compress the suspension really hard on the boat so they don't move and told me to come back when I will have 1500km or 2000km because I only have 800km on it and it still to new !! Anybody has and answer to that I tried searching on the forum and did not find anything.

What im guessing is its either the power steering pump that your hearing... or maybe even your brakes moving (that happens) or possibly your power steering lines vibrating on something. Sometimes when they are under pressure they tend to move a little... if anything is really close i guess it could touch

They look at all of that and they said that nothing was moving or loose and suspension was tight and all and they said not to worried about it since nothing was loose but still it bug's me and it's annoying to me.

I think i know what your talking about. Let me guess... it doesnt happen when your foot is off the brake?

It happen when I'm on the gas pedal and turning the steering wheel to go straight.
 

Odd.... hmmm. Dont know what to tell you then

could be the notorious clunking noise in the front end.. there is a TSB out on it...
 

It's been a while since I heard about the front end clunk. But yes, sounds like a front end clunk issue. Here's a copy of the TSB: http://outlander.freeforums.org/viewtopic.php?t=4

I just register to the forums and will read it thx in advance !

Just read the document and it look like exactly what i'm hearing it happen when I do a parking lot type maneuvers but what is stange it say that earlier builds (11/2006 and 12/2006) and mine was build in June 07. I will print a copy and go to my dealer and show them and hope they will do it. thanks a lot for the Info !!

I have an early build and had the noise for the first week or so that I had it....then it quit...strange.

If your having the thump noise and its in the front end, wont hurt to show the dealer. Its possible that them crazy japs starting using some of the old bearings to get rid of them.

The dealer actually said it could be something that "will wear out over time". But I don't have time to wait til it wears down so I went and had it fixed. They gave me a courtesy vehicle (06 Lancer) so I had no problem leaving them my Outlander. It might have wore down with time but I don't wanna wait, and I don't know how long I'd have to wait. Scares the heck out of my passengers and it's really hard convincing them of getting the Outlander with that clunk. I'm really proud of this vehicle and actually I'm convicing my friend to get one. It's just not fair for her to spend bucks on a Toyota when the Outlander is the best buy. Sometimes though, people are hard to convince especially if they know very little about cars and wanted to buy the famous brand.

ya know, if they still dont get the job done, try using your trusty

nothing like using a hammer to fix a problem

Thankfully they did it right the first time.
