I know since im running no front bumper at the moment, the plastic wheel well rubs on my wheels. It dosen't help the tires are 235's.

But I would check for stuff that rubs, especially if you on do it while cornering.

Also, jack the car up and shake both wheels one at a time. if you feel looseness, like the other guys said its a wheel bearing.

i say that you need to check your power steering fluid! you might be a little low on it.

I may just be talkin out of my a$$ here, but I have an exhaust leak that rumbles nicely sometimes when cornering or decelerating. Is it that kind of noise?

I happened upon this thread randomly and I think this is what I am experiencing... Maybe it applies to you as well?

http://www.audizine.com/forum/showth...-with-pictures.

Read more than just the first post. The thread explains how to modify your differential to distribute power more aggressively to the rear wheels if I am correct; however, in a long post quoted in one of the responses, someone mentions a 'shudder' due to the power distribution ratio (2:1 stock in our cars) when cornering. Other people mention a shudder in this thread as well, and I believe they are explaining the same thing I experience...

I think I am onto something... feel free to check it out - I will certainly be reading more into this.

BTW, the post to look for is by Ian@Absolute

Edited again, I think this is exactly what I am experiencing: http://audizine.com/forum/showpost.p...1&postcount=29
