only at speed and since i lowered it, am thinking wheels catching arch but no evidence of that that i can see as in scrub marks etc, and its a judder really, not a scuffing sound. you can feel it and its not to confidence inspiring!

only happens when i turn left at speed and the higher the speed the less lock i need to put on for it to do it?#

all suspension components are in good condition and all bolts are done up and theres definatly no scuff marks on arches/liners etc etc

idea please!

Cheers

Mine does this as well only when going left... almost feels like the wheel is jumping along the ground :?

Not sure what it is either :(

Have you checked tyre pressures? Just did mine rears were quite low and front o/s was 30psi seems to have stopped the juddering for now?

mines was catching on full lock only. also check the driveshafts as maybe these are catching on something on full lock

Coops I get this on the Cup car, not sure if its the same thing, but on hard cornering (with slicks) I get a banging that I can feel through the steering wheel, you can hear it quite clearly as well. Almost feels like the wheels are skipping sideways across the tarmac. Had the front end rebuilt now and in the 1hr 30mins I did at oulton park its not done it again. Will let you know if it crops up at cadwell in a few days time though. No idea what it could be.

still to be investigated, loadsa clearance on shaft so its not that, will check colum clearance, but i do know the d/pipe is VERY close to the subframe just when car is level and still so possible thats catching?

mine does this too, only when turning left, and it comes from the drivers side front wheel area

The garage that did the MOT for me said the rack was slightly kinked (maybe from when I tried to remove the track rod end with no luck) so I put it down to that or a wheel bearing

certainly doesnt inspire confidence, but theres so many different creaks and rattles that I never think about it for too long at a time before something else distracts me!! :x

Just check your tryes as they may have an egg on the tread

Could this be caused by a worn shock? cause I get a heavy knocking on pulling away in first as well bit like the wheel is skipping on the ground :?

Support engine, undo main engine mount and yank the engine as far forward as you can, problem fixed.
