whenever i turn the steering wheel all the way to the right, i get a very loud banging sound coming from the right side of the car. im thinking its something with the control arm but im not entirely sure....anyone got any ideas as to what is causing this?

The best way to start would be to look under the car while someone turns the wheel. If the noise is that loud, you shouldn't have any problems figuring where the noise comes from.

Otherwise, there isn't much we can do from this side of your computer...

Educated guess...sounds like a ball joint.

It could also be your rack and pinion, mine has some play and it makes a clicking noise when i steer to the right..Get your car up on jack stands and check the steering..
