If you need any used parts, give me a shout. Try the brake thing chris said. Ive heard a similar noise which turned out to be linked to jspec brakes....how about the top mounts? Have you got coilovers that are a bit corroded? Heard similar noise when some teins had badly corroded / cracked top mounts....

Ok today we look at the wheel place and for my surprise we find the point when we turn 10cm the steering wheel to the left and the right smooth the click noise appears ! Rack should be, now anyone have any idea if I need to buy a new one if is oil missing or is rebuildable ?

Is this clicking as the tyre rotates, which I what I based my guess on, or does it click with car car NOT moving forward, but just as you turn the STEERING wheel?

 

If the latter suspect bottom outer ball joints on the bottom front wishbones, or the rack end ball joints, inside the convoluted rubber rack boots. These are available separately. In fact I may have new ones in my stash of redundant stock.

That kit you have for rebuild will fit in European model because rack is different ?

If I raise the supra and took off the boot of the rack I could see anything suspect ?

That looks O.K.

 

Check you don't have a broken spring and check the front subframe nuts are tight.

 

To check the alloy subframe nuts, remove one, lubricate the thread and torque back up, do to all four, one at a time.

 

P.S. That's a posh garage, I could live in that!

 

Thanks, and about the oil in the steering ?

 

Can I send the Supra paraffin engine and subframe, because I notice the guy o paint my supra I say to him to put some anti-noise product under the car and my surprise he put everywhere lol subframe, ball joint etc !
