Car making loud cracking/gear stripping noise when turning right...
Hey guys, I cannot find any info while searching for this.
When my steering wheel is fully locked to the right and I'm turning into an incline (driveway entrance especially), the pass front area emits a LOUD gear stripping sound (clank, clank, clank) that you can feel throughout the car. I looked under and the CV boot looks normal. It only does it on an incline while turning right.
Not sure if its related, but I have cyclic vibration in the pass front at 70-80mph. It doesn't do it above or below those speeds. I rotated the tires and it's still present.

Check the tie rod spindle area. It happens to me when I lock it to the left. There is a stopping bolt preventing you from turning past a point. it is metal an metal rubbing. There is a plastic cap you can put on there or simply put some grease on it to lessen the noise. I haven't done it yet. Just made sure I don't turn all the way left. Hope this helps.
