What causes the steering of the Oshan X7 to make a clicking o r knocking sound when turning?

Whenever I make a full turn, especially at slow speeds, I hear a clicking o r knocking noise from the steering area. Is this a sign of a suspension issue o r a faulty steering column?

A clicking o r knocking noise while turning is typically caused by:

Worn CV joints: These joints connect the axle to the wheels. When worn, they make noise under load common on tight turns.

Loose o r damaged steering rack mounts.

Worn strut mounts o r suspension bushings.

Faulty steering column components: Such as the universal joint u-joint in the column.

This is often noticed more after driving on rough o r bumpy roads, which are common in Pakistan.

Fix:

Visit a suspension specialist to inspect CV joints, rack mounts, and bushings.

Replace worn parts immediately to avoid further steering o r suspension damage.
