Title: The i did not want to make a coilovers/rubbing/grinding help thread
Post by: AD1.8T on 07 September 2012, 11:06
As above i didnt want to admit defeat and add to the ever growing threads of this breed but im stumped and need help !

The noise accurs going round a tight roundabout so nearly full lock it makes the steering wheel judder and sounds hideous ...

I have joms, no adjusters on the rear just the cups with the bushes cut in half, the fronts are the same height with 1 of the 3 buldges of the bumpstops in! The arch to floor height is 61cm

I have a r32 arb with standard links

It didnt do it before i cut the bumpstops and there is no scoring on the driveshaft the only war wounds are slight rubbing on the inside edge of the archliner any ideas ?

It could be the out cv rubbing on the top of the ball joint

But would that do it all the time or just full lock ?

front drivers side on mine slightly rubs on inside of arch liner but it is ever so slightly and as not caused any wear on tyre or liner perhaps its doing the same on yours dude

Its odd because it didnt do it before i changed the tie rod end on the drivers side and cut the bumpstops

Do a search on faulty joms mate, mine are doing exactly the same thing atm. There's a cap on top of the strut which comes loose. Hard to explain but you'll see what I mean!
