2022 steering wheel clunk/pop
My steering wheel makes a pop or clunk noise when you first turn it after being stopped...either when first starting or from a stop light.
The mechanic said there's no fix but it's definitely getting worse.

We has the exact same sound with my wife's 2022 Outlander SEL Touring with 2,758 miles on it. Our dealer replaced the left front and right front strut mounts under warranty. This was on 5/10/2022. After they replaced the strut mounts, I read about the same issue others were having on another forum. The fix appears to have eliminated the noise so far. My wife has only put a couple of hundred miles on her Outlander since then. I hope this gives you a starting point.

Right strut? Clicking sound from right front wheel
I have had an issue with my 2022 Outlander since 1500km, i am now over 21,000 km and the issue has not been fixed. Two dealerships have looked at it and both told fibs that they fixed it when in fact the sound has never changed.
It was at the first dealership for a few weeks, then they needed the space in the workshop so called me in to pick it up, the second one had it for much longer and the same thing, told me they replaced the strut and fixed it but its not.
issue is from start to low speeds up to 30km an hour, the wheel will click and click when turned, its a click, clunk sound.
in addition, the first full steer lock turn when backing out my driveway, a metal on metal scratching sound is coming from the same wheel. After the initial sound it wont happen again unless its dormant for a while.
Mitsubishi dealerships want nothing to do with it, i requested a replacement vehicle or refund to no avail. They simply dont have the ability to fix it nor do they want the vehicle in their workshop taking up valuable income producing space for a warranty issue.
i am worried something serious will happen to this wheel, i dont want that driving at high speeds.
i wrote to Mitsubishi head office who replied, go and talk to your local Mitsubishi dealership about the issue, that was not even the dealership that i was living near nor the one who sold it to me or the other one who said they fixed it the first time.
why can i do? Being brushed off from dealerships and corporate and told there is no issue when its clearly a major issue with obvious sounds.

Do you happen to have the part number that was changed? I'm curious if the part number matches up with the one in the TSB.

Full steering rack. It wasn't replaced because of the bulletin. The service tech diagnosed it to be that. Might have fixed one issue but other is still there. I believe it's got to do with the top strut bearing not being up to the job.
