weird noise when turning

soemtimes when i turn with the wheel turned all the way usually turing left but a few times i think while turning right i hear a weird kinda like jiggling noise. This happen only when i turn the wheel all the way, it only does it soemtimes and doesnt matter if i'm going froward or reverse. Car is a 03 max AT, stock everything. any help i check under the car today and cant really notice anything.

jiggling noise? myself and others have described a moaning or groaning kind of noise.. never heard of a jiggling though.. is it coming from the steering wheel or under the hood?

it could be moaning, i cant really describle it, i dont think it is under the hood, i thinkign under the car or steering. but it only happen once in a while and i cant make it happen all the time. what is the cause of the noise you guys get?

there's a metal nub with a plastic hat that will rub on the back of the lower control arm on lock to lock turns.
It can be annoying, but is not something to worry about.

That jiggling noise more than likely is your front strut dustboot/bumpstop! It's probably torn, broken in 2 or loose! When this happen it's usually when turning or hitting sharp bumps! Or your axles!
