Hey all,
Had my rx8 for 4 months. It's a nov 95 model 231 bhp. Got a kind of clicking noise at full lock on the wheels.Can feel it throughthe steering wheel. Don't think it's the cv joints.
Feels like the rims are rubbing??? Any ideas or suggestions would be welcome.

Thanks
JS

 

that is normal, it is caused by the little bit of rust that forms on the rotor hat, and it rubs on the back of the wheel. It is not a problem. There is a TSB out about it, but not really worth it to have it fixed.

 

torque the lug nuts to 90-100 ft. lbs.

 

Yeah, Thanks guys. I found the job sheet for this on a website, Mazda know about it. They recommend that the wheels come off and sand the rotors and discs with fine paper clean and replace.

 

Yep, but the real trick is to up the torque on the lug nuts (as already mentioned), according to this FAQ...
