Do you mean he should play with the steering while under load to find the noise or on the lift, no load and play with the steering?

I take it that he's NOT getting clicking/clunking when the car is in the air...wheels aren't touching the ground and wheels have been removed.

Seems to me that he needs to get the car's suspension loaded and listen for clicking/clunking. If I'm right...I think something like an alignment rack would be a good way to achieve getting the car in the air but still have the wheels planted and thus loading the suspension.

The clicking/clunking is obviously something that's binding, no? If the suspension isn't loaded...it's not binding the part that's making the noise.

Well anyway...it's all clear in my head
