    Hi all,

    When on slow, full right hand lock [forwards] my offside tyre feels and sounds like it is trying to leave the rim. It sort of gives the impression that the wheel is locked right but the car is still going straight if that makes any sense!?

    Anybody else experiencing this, or know what the hell I mean?

    thanks

    Richard.

    The car has been in for a new steering rack [different problem] and has been all put back and set up. It had the problem before and after the new rack so that hasnt caused, or sorted it.

    then you are looking at cv joint,or a diff problem,though with a diff problem it would normally
    affect the outer wheel which needs to turn faster than the inner one.
