Question Clicking noises when turning

When I steer in either direction, going forward or reverse, level or uneven, I get 'clicking' noises in succession until I stop moving. This usually happens when maneuvering into/out of parking spaces or other tight areas.

The dealer already replaced the Pitman arm, but still has not corrected the problem.

Any ideas?

check for tears in cv-joint boots and for grease slung around under the front end. That
clicking sound is a classic symptom of a bad cv-joint, especially when turning.

Good Luck!
