It happens only when I'm at a standstill and the brakes applied if I turn the wheel all the way left or right I hear noise from the suspension like something is being pulled, it doesn't happen when the brakes are not fully applied and it only happens on a standstill. I was told its normal, this happened after I changed my lower control arm's in the dealer, they told me it because ur control arms are new and the front struts need to be replaced but could that be the reason.

I have a similiar issue, slow speed, full turn left or right, "Pop!" from the front end. New control arm bushings, still happens. Otherwise all is good. Not sure what it is.

i had a slight clunk noise in front end also after installing new struts. ended up finding that when the mechanic removed the control arm bolt to get strut out, he didnt tighten the control arm bushing bolt enough. the bolt looked tight, but the control arm bushing was still able to shift a bit on the bolt, causing a clunking type noise, when turning the wheel while stopped. the control arm bushing bolts need to be very tight.

I had the noise even before I replaced my struts, it maybe something with the ps.
Before I replaced my control arms I didn't have any of these issues, but now if I'm at a standstill and I steer lock to lock only when when my foot is on the brake the steering shakes and I can hear a noise like something is pulling I hope we get this issue solved.

So you had the same exact issue you solved it by replacing the power steering fluid ?

I think it has something to do with the control arms I replaced becuase since I replaced them the noise developed, I tried to find the source of the noise I saw that it was coming from the pipes but all are ok. And when I steer either left ot right you can see the wheels vibrating slightly while moving.
