rubbing
So now when i turn my steering wheel all the way to either side i hear and feel a little bit of rubbing comming from either one of my front wheels. my wheels and suspension is stock. my suspension is still tight though, but now my rear suspension has a squeaky sound to it when i push on it. AND my car seriously wobbles hard after make turns at speeds of around 20-30mph. whats going on? my suspension seems to be fine other than the squeak in the rear.

The first thing I'd do is jack the car up and pull the front tires. Examine them to see if there is any actual rubbing. The squeak might be your bushings. Have them checked. The wobble could be anything from a warped rotor to a badly balanced tires to your lugs aren't tightened all the way.

Im assuming you have a 1995-96 SC300. This is a common issue with these cars. The squeak in the rear is actually the rear upper a-arm rubbing against the crossmember. The upper arm bushings are a weak link in the suspension. The fix is getting them replaced with poly bushings. Do a search for Daizen bushings. I did a writeup on them awhile back. You can also contact Todd at tmengineering.net they distribute these bushings.
