As you already know, i put on 19'' and KSport coilovers on my car and adjusted cambers to lower it... After adjusting cambers, when I turn my steering wheel fully towards either direction(ie: when parking), it makes this loud TICK sound by the front wheel... Anyone have any ideas as to what might be causing this?

actually mine does that too when Im leaving my circular driveway and I turn the sterring wheel hard to one side(meaning my wheel is turned as far as possible to one side). Its not anything to worry about at all, just don't turn the wheel so hard when turning.

your wheel is probably scrubbing something in the fenderwell

Is this while moving? Or not moving? What speed?

This will narrow things down considerably...

It makes that sound when i make u turns, parking, pulling out of driveway, etc.... Like what JohnnyT said, when i turn my steering wheel hard to one side or the other, it makes that sound.

mine does that same exact thing and i just recently put on lowering springs.

i guess i'm not the only one experiencing this.
Today, i asked my guy to put camber back the way it was just to see if it was cambers causing it but i still heard the sound... so im guessing the wheels are touching something metal on the fender.. I hope its nothing crucial..

So it makes the noise one time? Or more than once?

thirdmotio

just once, it goes TICK!!

So this morning I'm backing out of my driveway and I cut the wheel all the way when it makes the usual squeeking sound I've heard before in cold weather. However it also began to make a tick/clicking sound almost like the sound it makes when it turns your directionals off? I didn't notice that it did it again after the cars interior was warm, but I also didn't have to turn my wheel all the way again. This is not a noise from the outside or anything to do with the wheels (stock suspension and rim size) but from inside the steering column. Anybody with any experience with this or any suggestions on what this could be. Was it just because something was cold? It really wasn't freezing this morning maybe low 50's and this is something i've never heard before About the squeeking how can I get rid of that also?

mine started doing the same thing after it was lowered. next week it will be winter tire time. and i'll check it out when the car is on the lift.

Domenic,

I can address the squeaking noise with the steering wheel. I had that happen in mine a while ago when I was in CT, and I asked the Lexus dealership to take a look at the dust boot of the steering column and see if it needs lubrication. To my surprise, it did, so they greased it up at a small charge, and now I don't have any squeaking whenever I turn my steering wheel. So you might want to do the same thing and see if that applies to your ES. Good luck!

Check your lower / upper control arms. Either they're in an uncompromising position and/or are worn out

busted axle shaft?
check the cv boots, if they're ripped, there's a chance that the bearing is dried out and needs replacement.
