I'm hoping it is just tire rub because it does only happen in full turn position in either direction. I will wait till daytime to see the inside of the tire if there are any marks.

If it's only happening at lock, then it's probably just the tires doing what tires do. I'd still get someone to check it out.

Im gonna call the dealership tomorrow to to see if they will look at it.Thanks guys.

Pulling out may have been wheel rub, but if its jerky when driving forward and drifts on you it may just be an alignment.

When the tires are super cold they will basically skip at full lock. I bet there is nothing wrong with your car. When I got my car late winter last year I was like WTF is that???!!! Come to find out they are just skipping due to being cold, once warmed up they wont do that. But if it is truely "grinding" as in your description then that is a different story. But the other description of being on rocks and jerking then that sounds like cold skipping tires.

I didnt know of this cold skipping deal. I think it might just be that. I am going to drive it around tomorrow and let it warm up then try to do a sharp turn again. Hopefully thats the situation. Ill update once I do that. Thanks again.

Yeah try it again, drive for a while to really get them warm since the roads are so cold right now. Then pull in a parking lot and try replicating the feeling. I doubt it will happen. Then when you get home where it seems to be doing it, ie: right when you go to leave since the tires are ice cold, try again when warm in the exact same spot. Again I dont think it will do it. Then update us.

I was having the same problem with mine, But i did notice it only happened when it was reall cold out

Tire noise from the cold weather
 

Does your tires make a weird frozen noise (hard to describe) like its frozen when you turn your steering wheel too much either to the left or right? It seems to happen when the car is sitting outside for awhile in the freezing temperatures (~20F). I'm turning out of a parking lot and I hear a "clunk clunk clunk."

Yeah i call it the fred flinstone mobile

Wow another one of these threads ridiculous

its normal

Thread Jack:
At what temperature do the summer tire begin to fail in winter.

What are the signs of failure as it gets colder or does it just happen all at once? e.g. at 40 degrees it makes a noise and at 35 degrees it slides like Fred Flintstone.

And can you keep some heat in tires in winter by continuos movement?

everyones tires do this. mine does it not even in freezing just somewhat cold temps. if you want a full explanation go check out the other threads on the subject.

Thanks. It did. It has been below this lately so may explain strange hop with sound I am unfamiliar with.

The stock Bridgestone rubber is pretty hard when cold. I've not had this issue with Hankook and Continental tires.

Up until a few days ago, I had very little scrub noise from my original equipment tires. We had a cold snap (~28F outside, ~50F in garage) and I guess my tires have worn/aged enough that the treads are less flexible. Backing from the driveway onto the street now sounds like I'm driving over crushed glass or have a wheel bearing that is shot. I'm glad I only have to put up with it for a few days. :)

I think it would help if the google search bar was on that main page instead of under the advanced search. It always seems to return better results. Just my .02.

Think I have a steering column issue
 

I have a PW 2011 sport/touring coupe. Whenever I lock the wheel all the way in either direction and move the car forward or backward, I hear a grinding (non-metallic) noise from the front of the car. It kind of sounds like thunder (best way I can describe it). The car is at the dealer right now, but i was checking in to see if anyone has an idea of what the problem is. The car is totally stock.

I spoke to the technician just now. He told me that the shuddering I'm getting is from the "camber roll". He said that this is normal. I have 13,xxxmi on the car.

Was it cold outside?

Yes.

When in full lock and cold temps, your tires will growl and make you think something major is going on. perfectly normal.
