   Sometimes when i turn my steering wheel i get what sounds like a huge bang!
   had a garage look over it and still nothing has been found. its just had all it driveshafts replaced and its top shocker mounts so cant be nothing to do with these (the garage took them off and refitted just in case). its a 2001 vtr.

   Do you mean like a knocking noise, or just one big bang?
