WI_Hedgehog liked post by WhiskeyHotel On thread : Odd noise/stuttering from front tires when turning hard

It's winter. The lower limit temp of summer tires is 40F. The tread gets harder as the temp drops below that. Some summer tires have a more gradual change from rubber to "rock". Others drop off the...

Okay guys, this is getting a bit worrisome. I backed out of the parking lot as usual, and I get this hard clunk-clunk-clunk noise as if the tire is grinding on something. At the same time I can see...

this is correct, why don't more people know this. You can actually hear any car screaming out in pain when full lock is on. Guess they like the feel of a new power steering pump.

It's called Ackerman geometry. It's hard to maintain at full lock. The C6 and C6Z Corvettes do the same thing. http://www.hotrodders.com/gallery/data/500/2439Ackerman_1.jpg...

Mine has done it since day one. It seems like it's "pushing" the front tires. Glad to hear I'm not the only one.

Hummm.....interesting. And I thought I was running over good size sharp rocks when turning the wheel hard, backing out of a parking space. Cold weather is also when it started.

From day one with this car, at full left lock from a standing start mine clunks one or two times, but only if the car has not been driven, like overnight. Can feel it as well as hear it. Doesn't...

WI_Hedgehog liked post by SouthArk370Z On thread : Wheel Grinding Feeling when making sharp turns

It's the same thing going on as when your tires squeal going around a corner. It's just lower frequency, so it sounds like a growl/rumble/grind. It's not really good for the tires, but it's just one...

i had that also - had the dealer check it out - and basically said it was normal and nothing mechanical to do about it.

Just an update. Drove my Z to Palm Springs and back (with the company of my dog) and it was just the temperature. After it is warmed up there is no grinding sound or feeling. This leaves me asking...

WI_Hedgehog liked post by Jack370Z On thread : Stock tires rubbing in sharp slow turns

I've noticed the same "scrub" sound and feel since I got my '09 with Sport Pkg. It is below 40 degrees when it shows up. The Potenza tire is a very soft (summer) tire and doesn't perform well in the...

When I first joined the forum there were a few people that had concerns with this. I really thing it has to do with the wide tires, type of tread, and surface. It's nothing to be worried about. If...

If it only happens with sharp turns at very low speed, that's tire scrub - the tire treads sticking/releasing from the pavement. If you can see no signs of rubbing on the tires or body, it's probably...
