"Clanking" noise on left only turns

I own a 2005 Hyundai Tiburon with 15k. I am hearing a "clanking" sound on
slow speed left only turns. This noise occurs when the wheel is 1/3 - 1/4 the
way cocked left and happens in both drive and reverse. The noise is sporadic
and doesn't seem to pattern temperature, moisture, etc... It is under
warranty and the dealership has given up. Their best explanation it that
thereis an "over-turn stopper" that is rubbing due to me over-turning. This
can be the case since I'm exhibiting this noise at non-full left turn and
nothing on right turns. Any ideas what to do next?

Inspect the outer CV joints.

Sounds like a bad CV joint.

> warranty and the dealership has given up.

.....or just doesn't want to be hassled with warranty work. Have
someone look at it, then have your dealer fix it.

nb

If you are in the US, ask to meet with the district rep and tell him if the
car isn't fixed you will enter arbitration to return it.

Sounds similar to the noise we get in any Honda AWD vehicle, when the
Dual Pump Fluid in the rear differential gets exhausted, around
25-30,000 miles. One litre of fresh fluid fixes the horrible grinding /
shuddering sounds.

A Tiburon doesn't have AWD, does it :-)
