W203 when stopped and turn steering makes a clanking/popping sound

[Bastos00]

Hi once again, I hoping for some opinions from you guys, now I'm having problems when I stopped and turn steering wheel can hear a loud popping/clanking sound coming from the driver side. Already changed the axial joint and tie rod and stopped for 2 3 days but then came back once again
Material is brand new. Brand is Febi

Is the spring broken?

Thanks for the reply. I'm confused What spring? I'm guessing not

Front suspension coil spring on the strut.
Probably a crack at the bottom or top that you may not easily see compared to a crack elsewhere along it.

You'll need to get under there while someone turns the steering wheel.
There are many bushes and joints that it could be and 203s are really prone to breaking the springs as they are compressed to around 50% of their unfitted length.

Thank you guys I will check and give feedback later

Sorry, your wording made it seem to me that you were fitting the parts yourself. Broken springs often make bongbonbong noises when turning.

So I have checked the spring and nothing seems broken and I know now where the sound comes from, it comes from the shaft that connects the steering wheel to the steering column.
