Rubbing noise when turning

Post by MickS80 »

Its not the tyre's off the arch .... :D

When turning sharp left or right, back or forward its sounds like rubber being twisted? While turning the steering will then kick and I can hear a bang :shock:

If turning left going forward the steering will pull its self in tight??


Any idea's

Had the same situation in my s80. Found out the incorrect steering stops were on the control arms. Put the right ones on....big dif.

can you take a pic of the stops....and your tire/wheel size...as this determines the stops that are recommended
