so i have a 96 sunfire GT with the 2.4 Twin cam in it. I absolutly love this car but it sounds like a peice of crap because there is a clunking noise comming from under the hood. I cant seem to figure out what it is. So far iv determind it nothing with the engine (but im not a expert so i could be wrong) and I dont think its the exaust. I did notice that when I turn the steering wheel the noise goes away. Power Steering pump maybe? i dunno but if anybody has any ideas please let me know. Iv sick of people thinking my car sucks because of a stupid noise when it really runs great. Thanks!

when does the car do it? when your takeing off or stoping?

is it repetitive or does it just do it when you shift, stop, ect.?

check you motor mount on the right side of the car where the mount bolts to the engine. i have the same car and it was making clunking noises and the mounting bolts were almost all the way out.

It dose it when im stiped, sitting there idoling. When i turn the stering wheel in etheir direction it goes away. im not sure if it still dose it when im moving, but i dont think so, and if it dose i cant hear it over the normal sounf of the car. One more thing, when i turn the steering wheel and it stops, if i rev the engine it will come back, so the position of the steering wheel dosnt matter, that just makes it go away for a second. Thanks so much guys!

What about the wheel bearing?
