Emira Fiend
Any one had it? Not the Akerman effect from the tyres, this is an audible clunk slow maneuvering with full or near full lock on. You feel it through the wheel as well.
@Magicman this one:I recall one of the euro guys on the forum had a clunk, it turned out to be an under body tray that was flexing, needed additional fasteners IIRC
Thanks@Magicman this one:

It felt more uncomfortable than in any other car when I did it so never done it againSounds similar
The scrubbing sensation is the Ackerman effect due to geometry, the clunk is something differentFull lock when reversing in my 2004 996 C4S gives an unpleasant dragging, scrubbing feeling - down to combination of steering geometry and camber when on full lock. I've also had a clunk on full lock on other cars and it's never worried me, don't think it is anything to be concerned about - will let you know how it is in my Emira next week.
Thank you, great fact - every day is a schoolday! It was an old Celica I had that had a clonk at the end of the steering travel. Unlike many many things in life or a bad round of golf, despite the clonking the wheels never came off...The scrubbing sensation is the Ackerman effect due to geometry,
