Had an odd thing happen the other day that I have no explanation for. I was in a parking garage and had lowered the suspension. As I was descending and turning the wheels to lock, left or right, I was getting a metal on metal sound. It wasn't grinding, so there was no contact with anything spinning. But something wasn't right.

Ideas?

Could it be something as simple as hitting the metal stops in a new spot with the suspension lowered? I remember getting some odd noises in my 80 at full lock until I dabbed some grease on them.
