"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?

I don't have much idea what the noise is, but I'd like to know whether the
dealer ever duplicated the noise.

I believe no.... I explained that the tech should take my car for a ride and
make a u-turn to hear what I hear. I believe only a visual inspection of
front suspension parts was done both times I had the car in the shop. It
feels like a loose linkage to me: pin-joint, contol arm, tie-rod, etc....

It really sucks that I bought a new car 10 months ago with the longest
warranty offered and the dealership all ready uses the loop-hole with appling
it: the techs just say that the noise is "normal". hyundaitech wrote:

That clanking noise you are hearing on left turns is "normal" operation and
therefore we can't warrenty something that isn't broken.

Re:
 

If they've never duplicated the noise, I'm puzzled by the statement that
it's "normal." If they haven't yet duplicated the noise then your first
step should be to have a technician ride with you while you duplicate the
noise for them. This, of course, requires you to be able to make the
noise occur.

Additionally, if the noise is indeed normal, it should occur on an
identical vehicle. Presumably, the dealer will have a new one there that
can be driven. Also, if they can't tell you what is causing the noise and
cannot present a new vehicle making the same noise, then the question is
how they determined the noise was normal without that information.

I have to agree about the value of the warranty. I'm beginning to get
really discouraged by some of the things I'm reading about people's
experiences with warranty work. It seems there are a lot of legitimate
sounding claims getting shoved off to "Hyundai is aware of it, no fix
announced", or "yeah, that's the way they are". I hope this is just a bump
in the road and Hyundai gets up to speed with some of these things. They've
worked hard to develop a good name and it takes so little to destroy that.
