hello again guys, ok so here is wat i do, u no just got my p's
so i give my car abit round tight corners but even wen i dont
go very hard for some reason my front left tyres makes an odd noise
like a rubbing noise, now my car is lowered but wen i corner left
its fine only wen i corner right does it, whether its a hand
brakey or just going round a corner, now i was htinking maybe brakes
are gone on that tyre or maybe supsesion is gone. Also i looked un my car and there isdusty oil all over my shock and around that area like brakes ect. yet other side is clean as so tell me what u think guys, i dont wana roll my car wen i brake something there and kill my self

gaurds?

gaurds??? do u mean the mud flaps... if so no i dont have them, (damn stone chips)

just read carefully remember its only wen stearing to the right and the left wheel rubs or clunks... also if it happens to much it makes my steering wheel wobble something cronic, no it makes my wheels out of whack, but then in 5 mins of steering it fixes it self, i no i need a balance but its gets really bad when after i hear the noise for while

actually get your sway bar links checked because the rubbers might have dropped off and made it clunk and shudder

there is a sway bar that joins to your strut and runs under the car to the other strut.... on either side there is 2 rods with rubber bushes holden it firm to the strut.... you will need to get it in the air to be able to see it properly so tommorow check if your bushes are still tensioned up properly or still even on there because as soona s i lowered my car mine dropped off and i got a clunking sound when i turned anyway.....ill try and get a photo for u so u know what im on about
