There is this "clunking" noise whenever the steering wheel is almost at full lock position(doesn't matter left or right) and the car is moving, right after the noise if I keep the steering position, I can feel a slight vibration from the drivetrain. Took it to the dealer and they said its the viscous coupler that needs to be replaced. I replaced the whole driveshaft including the viscous coupler using refurbished part and the problem still exist. So that's not the problem. Does anyone know what it is? Any info is appreciated. By the way it is a 2003 Freelander.

yeah, your viscous wont cause that issue, as you found out. honestly, it could be alot of things, assuming that the vibration is related, i would be looking at front drive shafts, but definitly check your ball joints and tie rod ends first
