It happens when I turn the steering to complete left and reverse the car. It is really like a trumpet sound and I feel the vibration thru

the stering into my bone.Who candiagnosis this problem?

Try bouncing the suspension with your hands on both fenders. If you hear any wierd noises its probably the upper control arms. If you can't hear anything lift the front wheels off the ground and have someone turn the wheel lock to lock and watch the tie rod ends for play.

Have you put on larger tires? Might be the tires hitting the fender wells?

Tsi88Kid - not a "wheel lock". Turn the wheel all the way right to all the way left then back again- as far as it can go in each direction, aka "lock to lock". (If you were joking, I missed it.)

You use a wheel lock Key!
Wait wait
You use a key to unlock a wheel lock. I don't know if you need a key to lock a wheel lock!

Don't confuse a wheel lock with hubcap locks or The Club.

Sometimes the local police dept will put a wheel lock on your car. In that case the best waytounlock a wheel lock is apply money. Some people attempt to cut the wheel lock with a torch but that is not recommended beacuse it can damage a tire.

Or, if you are in red neck country, they just drive their ghetto lifted pickups with the wheel lock on! I've seen it with my own two eyes.
