Title: Full left lock
Post by: Dan:) on September 25, 2011, 03:42:23 PM

When I put the steering on full left lock it clunks. Is it the tyres moving, doubtful of mechanical as I've had that all checked.

Any help will be much appreciated.

If it's a Stage 3 PPP or a PPS subframe then it's possible you're catching one of the arms from the subframe, probably the offside one. Look at both sides and check for possible binding points.
What are the size and offset of your wheels and tyres?

Could still be the wheels catching the frame, doesn't hurt to check
