Care to elaborate a bit more on the noise?
I get a clunking noise and I can feel it through the floor of the car, turning and accelerating do the same thing. I assumed it was the diff, but I am beginning to think it isn't.
When the car isn't running, and I turn the steering wheel back and forth quickly I get movement and clunking. Think it is the steering arms or similar, best bet is to get it to a mechanic and have them spend a couple of hours going over the suspension and steering system.
If it is either of them it will be dangerous, and needs to be fixed. Myself, my car is parked up until I get more disposable income

@ FTEvolution for clunking with steering its Tie rod end (balljoint) or in the rack most likely rod end.
for clunk when braking lower control arm bushes are shot and prob droplinks

CHRISTIANITY: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...

My car is in a workshop as I write this, will keep people updated I guess...
Hope it isn't too expensive, at least it should be cheaper than replacing the gearbox, which is where I was leaning a month or so ago
