I recently sold my highly modded GSX for sc300, love the car great quality but im running into this problem in the steering somewhere, if im just basically letting off the gas in DRIVE just letting the car coast so theres load on the wheels sometimes it makes this click click click sound when i steer it around, and also when im on the highway going at a constant speed, when i start braking and get off the off ramp the steering feels soo tight like its hard to steer the wheel and thats not being on the brakes when it does this.. not really sure what the problem could be but im going away in a couple weeks just wanna make sure its safe.

thanks for the help, josh

For the clicking sound check your axles/cv boots. For the tight steering check your power steering fluid and steering parts. These cars also have speed sensitive steering so the steering feels tighter the faster you go.

Welcome. Youve come to the right place. My brother's car also has that clicking noise. Ive only been hearing it since his power steering went out. It comes from around the brake area. Im thinking it might have to do with something around the steering rack. No power steering feels great!
