Bumping nose from front end {passenger side} when steering wheel is turned to the left.had car looked at they seem to think it's a busted stru,but it doesn't sit low,and also the tire is showing wear on the inside?.

limited info generic answer --quite a few on the list ----power steering pump--c/v axle--hub--steering assembly --wheel etc need to jack up the noise side and check front end---- and listen and look for noise under hood --check pump and fluid level

* check by having someone watch at the point of the jerk back. Mark the tire position with chalk. (use the same reference point. IE relative to ground, etc.
* place the front end (both wheels up) on jack and safety jacks.
* Hand rotate wheels and check especially when chalk mark is in the down position (or your reference point)
* Your looking for bumps in wheel (bulge wheel), Bent rim, Loose or damaged bearing, front end steering linkages, alignment, etc.

some times you will get a bouncing in wheel ,nose dive in front end when stopping or hard breaking, did you try jacking up car so wheel is just off ground ,put a bar under tire and lift up observe wheel movement ,then do other wheels , if it is a strut the wheel will move up and down freely , look for fluid leaking around strut body ,5000 miles is not much of a factor things do break.the other is get the front end off the ground both wheels,SAFELY !!!!!! WITH THE CAR SHUT OFF WHEELS BLOCKED, have one person turn wheel while you observe it , look for anything wrong grab the wheel and try to move left to right (a small ) motion observe what happens ,is there wiggle ? with out moving steering wheel. if not sure of any of these ,PLEASE take it to a mechanic .hope this helps good luck.

You have worn parts, what those may be requires a skilled front end tech to find.

bad steering problems,,your steering rack most likely,but,have you recently been stuck in ditch? when wheels are straight, look at front of car when parked. do wheels look funny? one going one way, and the other going the other? may be alignment. is it leaking any fluid on either side of the front of the car? drivers side? passenger side? if it's not out of alignment,,,wheels out of alignment,,the steering rack is the problem. it may be faulty. if not leaking fluid,it may still be bad. first i would make a visual test look under the vehicle while someone turned the steering wheel to right and left while car is in park,emergency brake on!! look at the steering arms while they turn the steering wheel from right to left. no fluid leaks? any resistance in turning the wheel? any leaks,if so,go to leak and repair with steering line replacement.no leaks? suspect a bad steering rack. hope this helps and thank you for choosing fixya.com i love to volunteer

do a visual on your front struts and check for an oil leak/wet strut

there is a bar that goes from the front axle on the passenger side to the frame on the driver side possibly called a track bar. have someone turn the steering wheel left and right while watching for slop. also look for slop on the rest of the steering system. after that if nothing is found have a front end alighnment done.

Me too i think it a cv joint problem a cv joint got 3 rond bearing when turning each rond ball goes in a chanel it spin in there sometime that chanel get damaged a little hole appear and in occasion the ball get stuck in that hole and that your bad vibration i gave you example

check ball joints and tire rod first the clunking is a tati tale thet your ball joints are shot

You might have the lower swing arm bushing checked mine slid of the bushing but stayed in the cradle on the passengers side.Only made noise when ibacked or turned sharp left.
