View Full Version : crunching when turning all the way while lowered - spherical ends fix?

So, when I am driving and I turn the wheel all the way to one direction, then go over a bump (say turning out of a parking lot) I get this crunching sound. You can see marks on the surface beneath the 3 front suspension bolts, where they "slip" under this condition. The question that I have is, if I go to the fully spherical upper tie ends from 034, will it stop this binding or whatever is causing this condition?

you ever look more into this issue? i've developed what seems to be a gear grinding noise coming from under the car while making left turns (not even at full lock). have to get under the car to see if any part of the suspension is loose. the sound can be described as gears slipping from each other...like a grinding type noise.

Nope, never figured it out. I have some 034 upper arms that I am going to order next month, and I will make sure to loosen all bolts that hold a rubber bushing, and re-tighten at the correct ride height (I didn't do this the first time around, and I think this may be the issue)
