Default metal clank when turning the steering wheel.

When I turn steering wheel I can hear some metal clanking/gnashing. The car drives normaly, I can hear that sound only when I make a turn.

MB320 2002

I've replaced front arm bushings 3 days ago, also I applied some cleaning spay on wheels ( to remove all burnt dirt from pads).

Is it possible that my problem related to to arm bushings? Is it just lubrication problem, or something serious?

thanks a lot

Ok. Nobody responded on my post so I decided to visit MB dealership and share information with others (I noticed many people clicked on my post, so some of them must be interested in this problem).

That noise what I was complaining really was really getting worse and worser. So I was prepared to pay a big ammount of money for that service. But it wasn't so bad.

Noise was caused by a heat shield rubbing on the steering knuckle. Adjusted position of heat shield. Paid around $200 - and I'm a happy driver again.
