I started to notice a clunk when i turned the wheel to the left which i though t was unusual. it concerned me that it sounded like a worn linkage or ball joint and the car had only 21,000 mile on it. who informed me that there had been a bad lot of a steering linkage part put on certain avalons that they couldn't identify. therefore, no recall which disturbed me. i though toyota was known for outstanding quality! the car now has 26,300 miles and there have been no further issues. *tr
