Every time I turn my wheel all the way to either left or right, my steering wheel start shaking. It happens to me almost everyday now. Then sometimes, I also hear some strange sound like metal rubbing. Note I had coilovers installed on my car for months without alignment lol so I suppose that strange noise is something scratching my front bumper. Anyone tell me what the problem is ? Thanks

that is not normal. I had that once happen to me and it ended out to be a broken axle, fits what your saying as far as I'm conscerned. If the car is still under warranty take it to the dealer right away. my wheel was to the point where it was about to fall off by the time it was figured out.
