Q: "creaking" clinking crunching sound when turning the wheel all the way in either direction.
When I turn the wheel fully in either direction, the car crunches. It doesn't want to be turned. Also shakes, shimmies a bit when I'm driving around 40 mpg. I think it's CJ joint, but need to figure out what to book for the appointment.
My car has 67600 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
