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 ?
