Painful Noise

[The Wolf .]

Hi guys, just wondering if anyone can help me with a noise thats just popped in my car that gives me the shivers every time i hear it.

Two weekends ago i got the car lowered, new springs etc. One week later i get this terrible clicking/grinding sound coming from the front wheels whenever i give them a turn, its worse when the car is just turned on, and is standing still. After a bit of driving the noise settles down a bit but its still there.

I dont think its the springs, its definatly not the rims rubbing on the guards. It seems to be coming from just inside the wheel area, im leaning more towards it having something to do with the power steering? But im not really sure.

Anyone else had this problem or know what it might be? I havent been to a mechanic or anything to check on it just yet, but i will have too soon, its really quite terrible to hear.

FYI the car is a 93 R33 GTS-T s1.

Any help will be really appreciated.

tein springs can be noisy if thats what brand you have, its also to put a rubber gasket on the top before putting the coilovers in.

could it be power steering fluid? I had a leaky one b4 and when the fluid ran low, there was a god aweful grinding noise. Try checking the fluid level

If they have not seated the spring correctly it will actually turn the spring in it's seat. Having all the weight of the car on them will cause it to make a deep sprung jolting noise...this is the base of the spring moving.

If this is the case then you should have it fixed by the people that lowered your car.
