Hey guys I noticed something today that I havent in previous cars (maybe I just didnt pay attention before). With the car sitting still if I turn the wheel from left to right, I get an odd noise and a small clunk I can feel in the wheel. Almost as if the steering rack or something is loose. I got under the car and couldnt see anything.... Any input? Oh, and the car was running.

I was told they all do that (well at least on the protege5)...
It actually pops louder if you have a curb to back out of everyday.. like my driveway. :(
 
My intake will make a plop noise if i turn the wheel a bunch at a stop. It's hilarious, i do it to **** with my friends.
 
Mine car does the same thing. I was kind of worried about it. good to know I am not the only one.
