R33 gtst grinding noise when I hard turn


Recommended Posts

Do you know why when I turn the wheel all the way left or right no matter the speed for a turn I hear a grinding sound? It sounds like the driveshaft, I'm not sure though. I just did a power steering flush and that didn't fix it. There are only 3 of the 4 bolts on it. Maybe that's why? 🤷🏻‍♂️

 

It only makes the noise right when I get to the end of steering for both right and left sides.

is this 'on the road' or on blocks in the garage?

It's on the road and when I pull out of my driveway. If I just turn the steering wheel all the way left and right when the car is parked it doesn't make the sound.

Which could point to thrashed radius rod bushes, or thrashed lower arm inner bushes, or maybe thrashed balljoint/kingpin bearings (less likely) or a bent/shifted subframe (drift damage).

Sounds more like your tyres are rubbing on the inner guards?

The car was fine before I swapped my trans. There may been some issues that I made with the power steering pump. I'll check what you guys have said.

The wheel I bought was hitting the steering knuckle/top part of the suspension. I put spacers on and it's fine now.

Right sized wheels might be a better solution than spacers, but at least you've got it sorted....

 

I have these. I saw on fitment industries and people are running the same specs though.
