I know it has to do with either the steering or a suspension part. Every time I turn my steering wheel mostly when im trying to park I hear a loud click click click noise coming from both sides. What could it be?

^^^ if you have coilovers and the sleeve is too loose it binds up and pops. Or if you just have cheap coilovers in general they will make the popping noise when you turn the steering wheel.

Yeah I have megan racing ones. It would make sense if it was the coilover because I lifted the car from the front and turned the steering wheel and the noise ddnt happen since the weight wasnt on the coils. What can I do to fix it?
