I just bought my car about a month ago, and whenever i turn the wheel enough to either side (almost to lock) I hear a terrible noise. It sounds like rubbing but im on oem everything so they're not rubbing. Common problem with an easy fix, or no?

Thanks, im going to try to spend some time tomorrow looking for the source of the problem.

maybe the springs rubbing on the perches. have someone turn the wheel while you have your head close to the wheel well and try and determine exactly where the noise is coming from.

you guys must have ran massive wheel and tire. I had OEM wheels and the car was dropped on sportlines springs with chunky 225/50/15 tires on the SE 7 spoke wheels and never rubbed lock to lock.
