Steering grind
 

So Ive done a little bit of research on this already, but I am still stuck. I plan on taking it to the dealer but id like to be more aware of the issue before hand. Whenever I turn from a stop I get a bad grinding noise from the front wheels ( cant determine which one), it doesn't happen at speed or even all the time for that matter. Any clues or ideas you guys have? Power steering? Sway bar bushings? Ball Joints?

UPDATE: Dealer looked it over didn't see anything wrong with the important parts, after giving it some hell on the way back to work it sounds more like my after market over rattling vibrating on something.

What aftermarket are you talking about?

Do they have aftermarkets in heaven?

Don't all of you guys have an after market? It makes the FR-S so much faster and more responsive. You just have to make sure you buy the correct after market and be especially careful to avoid before markets...those will make your car slower.

Do any of the after markets void warranty?

That depends, I'm pretty sure none of the postmarkets do.

It is his aftermarket overpipe making the noise. You guys are brutal.

What ever you do, ignore the foreign market and don't buy your aftermarket stuff from the farmer market since the parts will rattle

maybe the supermarket is will have better parts

I usually get my stuff from the black market. Only bad thing is they don't accept bits of string. Says so right here...

dafuq is goin' on here??

shit, you guys are pro status, im just starting on the money markets...

If this was an attempt to clam you've modified you car to look cool about it you my friend should be :slap:

I try never to clam. I am not sure what it is.

You don't clam? Fo'shame.

In terms of the OP, I have grinding and popping noises when I turn the steering wheel full tilt. I think we just need to tighten up bolts in the front suspension area.

back from the dead and with more seriousness!


after a 3700km road trip, split in half by a 2 day intense autocross, I now get some serious noises when turning the wheel at parking speed (ie, less than 5km)

it's very weird and I have no idea what it could be as I've not taken anything apart relating to the steering or suspension.



there is no noise with the car operating at regular speeds.
