So my '91 Stanza makes a clicking, clunking noise on the driver's side but only when the car is really warm. It ticks when I break, when I accelerate and especially when I go over bumps. Sounds and feels like part of the suspension but when I drive the car in the morning everything feels fine. I have new struts, strut mounts and lower ball joints in the car so it's not that. I know something's wrong with the rack and pinion. Could it be the power steering pump?

My stanza does the ticking noise..but its becuase the engine fan is not coming on...so i just jumper it in the fuse box...but It might be similar problem..maybe its just over heating..thats what mine was doing.

Its not the power steering pump because it is on the passenger side of the car. It might be an exhaust leak or even a lifter sticking. Try an additive in your oil or gas like lucas products.
