strange noise when i turn my wheel
awhile back i slid into a curb in my coupe and ****ed up my car a little. ive fixed the major problems, just need to get it aligned. but when i turn the wheel so far right and hit the accelerator, it makes this noise, it almost sounds like the tire is rubbing. i have 17s on it, but im almost positive its not rubbing, becuase it only makes the noise when i hit the accelerator, and ive checked to see if it rubs. it makes the noise once i turn the wheel to a certain point, and keeps making it if i turn it any farther. anyone have any idea what this is? and how much it should run me to get it fixed?

if you're sure there's no rubbing, i'd look for any signs of fluid leaking from your power steering system and check your levels... the whirring noise could be a sign that your pump is struggling.
also, although this probably wouldn't be causing the noise you speak of, it's worth your attention... raise the front of your vehicle and check your wheels for lateral play... this could be a sign one or more of your ball joints or wheel bearings need to be replaced.
i hope this helped... good luck!

Oh, the reason I asked was because my car had a weird clicking sound whenever I turned the wheel to the right and it turned out to be the reverse idler gear in the transmission.. I don't remember the exact problem or what happened in detail, but there was a TSB on it.. but it was only applied to the 01-02 I believe
