    Thud noise when turning left

    I have just noticed that when I turn to the left a thud can be heard sometimes.

    I only just started to notice it after the car went in to have the clutch pack replaced.

    My question is should I be worried, will it cause any major damage? I am going to call the service department tomorrow to see what they suggest.

    The steering will thud when you hit full lock (either left or right). Is isnt this you are referring to? Otherwise, something might be loose or not fitted correctly - best to get back to the dealer ASAP to check it over.

    haha, that happened to me, as a cyclist actually, a van turned left at an intersection while I was doing about 15km/hr thru a (green!) pedestrian crossing, completely oblivious to that cars can be turning even on a green, so heard the skid from my right and I went thud into his guard (was a van, so LOTs of me went thud into his van).
    Thankfully nothing broken but my pride (and I was friggin sore for about 6weeks!).
