Need advice!

Post by cavido »

Hi all. It's been a while since I came to the forum but I really need help :/

My R is doing some clicking noises when I turn the steering wheel. Sometimes I don't even need to turn the steering wheel to hear such noises. I don't hear those noises each time that I drive the car but it's getting more often. And while I'm doing 60+ mph on the highway, if I need to agressively turn the steering wheel, I feel like the car is swaying alot! The feeling is almost as the rear of the car is heading another direction.

What could it be?

Sorry for the bad explanation but I'm not english :/

That's probably the cause for the clicking noises. But is it also the cause of all the swaying?
