For the last week or so I've been getting this strange griding/rubbing sound coming from my front tires. Its definetly in the susupension..I hope. Anyways, it only happens when I pull out slowly in first gear and have the steering wheel all the way to the left or right.

Possible Causes:

1.Tires are rubbing<--I don't think they are. I'm only dropped 1.3" maybe a little more and there are no rub spots on the tires.

2.My sway bar <---its loose because I couldn't tourque it back to factory specs after I installed my springs.

3.Clutch<---I can feel the vibrations come straight through the clutch pedal....I dunno if this means anything.


The grinding noise only comes when I first pull out. After I'm driving if I take a 90 degree turn I don't hear it. Any ideas? Its seems to be getting a little worse. Thanks for any help!

My car is still under warrenty but will Satan work on it since I have some suspension mods done? I heard of the ball joint recall, which I need to get done, but is there a recall on the cv joints? Thanks for the help!

That depends on the dealer, the mitsu dealer I go to in VA always has a grip of modded eclipses and 3000gt's in its garage so they seem willing to do work on modded cars. DEFINITELY get the recall done though, it is definitely worthwhile
