im having a small problem :(
well tonight after studying at UTSA my friends and i went to freebirds to go eat. once we left i made a left hand u turn on huebner and i turn the steering all the way to the left. while i was making the u turn i heard a thump thump thump thump as i was in the U turn (which you can feel the thump in the floor board). once my steering wheel was straight it wasnt doing it anymore. so i pulled over and looked under my car and i didnt see anything. the only thing i can think about is maybe wheel bearing or ball joints? or maybe my wheels are hitting the A arms. i have the 17x9 TRMotorsport C3 with et 63. i am going to change my two front wheels tomorrow to see if its the wheels or something else.
what do you guys think?

They're purple now? Damn man, make up your mind.
I don't think it's the front wheels. Even though they're 17x9's with a high offset if they would be continuously rubbing against the springs instead of a thumping sound. Might want to check your CV joints.

Try to isolate where the noise is coming from... Is it coming from the front of the vehicle, or the rear? Turn your head different directions as you listen for it and move your head up and down in the car... Also try to isolate if it's coming from the left or right side of the vehicle. CV joints on a RWD car stay pretty straight most of the time, so I doubt it's one of those -- it would probably make the noise all the time if that were the case, not just in a sharp turn. With that said it COULD be an issue with your differential, but again you need to isolate where the noise is coming from.

I have nothing against purple, I actually kind of like it if it's used tastefully. But to me this trend of bright colored "JDM" wheels is no different than the ricer fad. Sorry Adolfo, I've always loved your car but I'm just not into the bright colored wheels. It's just not my style.
