new fvcking noise

i'm getting fed up with this ****.... i'm so close to going back to stock cuz its getting annoying. anyway;

when i lowered my TeinSS coils almost all the way in the front i got a new creaking noise when i turn the steering wheel...... o well, i guess i learned to live with that creaking noise and it didnt bother me. well, today a new noise started.

turning into my driveway from the right meaning that my steering wheels is turned all the way to the right i hear a new metal to metal noise as soon as my car's front goes on the edge of the driveway which is a hill.

this noise comes when the weight of my car is leaning on the driver side front wheel and i hear the noise whcih is like "vooooooo" for a half a second when the full weight of the car is on that driver side front wheel because of my going on an angle into my driveway which is a sort of hill.

does anyone know what this noise could be or where its coming from? its tough to explain it exactly but i did my best...... if you have no idea what i'm tlaking about tell me and i will try harder to explain it.

thanx

I think i know what the problem is , when i lowered mine everytime i turned my wheel it made that nasty noise . and i thought ummmmmmmmmmmm, what i did was when i lined up my strut with the holes in the car they were lined up wrong yep you gotta line up the holes the same way you took um off so i made sure the spring was in right and tadaaa all betta or you could just turn up the radio/////////

the noise you here is because on the older vics the bottom part of the spring use to turn with the steering now they switched it up and the top of the spring pivots and the bottom stays in place wich is where you get the metal to metal noise or the bubber to metal it is just friction between the plates and the spring

so anyone knows what the problem is? I have the same problem and I would like to know what's the problem.
I have goldlines with stock shocks, and I hear this clicking noises when I turn right only not when I am turning left.

had my 01 lowered for 5 months and wore out the tires. But when i lowered it i heard the same thing and so i raised it back up. Put some 18" on it and the problem was still there. Some time find out that when i put the steering arm back on, the bolt wasn't tight enough and that everytime i turned, there was a popping noise only when turing right. Dont know if this is the same, but hope it does
