my moms 99 sunfire has this strange knocking sound.
it doesnt occur all the time, we will start up the car, drive it for a while, sometimes 5 minutes, sometimes 30 minutes, and there will be an aggressive knocking. ONLY when the steering wheel is STRAIGHT, and it also appears to only happen at idle rpms. (1000 or so)
i havent checked anything yet, im busy working on my own vehicle and id rather have one fixed, so if i need to do major repairs to the sunfire i have my other vehicle that she can use while i fix it.
any ideas, or suggestions on what i should check would be appreciated, thank you
