Hi all and thanks for letting me in.

As a typical newbie i have a question straight off the bat.

Had car a month now and has driven great but now there is a clunking sound coming from the steering. There is no play in yhe steering and only seems to happening at low speed or on tight turns. Car has only done74,500 miles.

Hoping it may be track rod ends or similar and not the steering rack.

TIA

Steve

I would say cv joints but they normally click instead of clunk unless MINIs are different.

Welcome to NMSland :saltireflag: that's a sweet low mileage 'S' you've got there :thumbs up:

I'm sure a local Indy garage will locate & rectify the issue without to much fuss

Steering column bearing possibly - grease it and see if that fixes it, quite often an easy fix
