When making an accelerating right-hand turn from a stop or near stop, there is a repetitive clicking noise that seems to be coming from the front right. The noise will also occur when turning left, but not as prominent as when turning right. The noise is not there when making right turns while maintaining speed or minimal speed variations. The clicking stops when proceeding straight again. Any ideas what part of the suspension would be causing this? I don't believe it to be rack/pinion or transmission related. But on the subject of transmission, in colder weather, the car "clunks" from first to second gear... with 125K, I surely hope the transmission is not going bad. Another mechanic mentioned a transmission solenoid that may be defective. Does this sound accurate?

Alright folks, I need a little advice again. I have started hearing a noise when my engine is at idle or very low rpm coming from what I think is the power steering rack. It had occurred intermittently over the past 6 months or so but just recently became an everyday occurrence. The car is a 2007 Fusion SEL 2.3 automatic. when turning the steering wheel (to the left only) while moving slowly forward or reverse, I get a loud groan and I can feel it in the steering wheel ( sounds like the pump is trying to pump air, not fluid) when it happens the steering is still assisted, but harder than normal. If any of you have an idea what this might be, I would appreciate your input
