I HAD 4 WHEEL ALIGNMENT DONE ON MY 2013 CHRYSLER 200 AS THE WHEEL WAS PULLING, SHOOK AT CERTAIN SPEED AND STEERING WHEEL WAS NOT STRAIGHT. THOSE PROBLEMS WERE CORRECTED BUT NOW I HAVE A CLUNKING SOUND COMING FROM THE LEFT FRONT SOUNDS LIKE UNDER GAS AND BRAKE PEDALS. ALSO WHEN CAR IS IN PARK AND YOU TURN STEERING WHEEL YOU HEAR A NOISE, SO MAYBE THE CLUNKING COMES WHEN MOVING STEERING WHILE DRIVING BUT THIS IS A VERY ANNOYING NOISE AND IF YOU LOOK UP THIS YEAR CAR ON UTUBE THE VIDEO DESCRIBES THE NOISE EXACTLY. THIS CAR HAS LESS THAN 40,000 MILES ON IT. I WILL BE CHECKING WITH CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP IN MORNING TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY BULLETINS ON MY CAR FOR THIS ANNOYING CLUNKING SOUND.
