Anyone get anything from the video?

Here's a video of the noise! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJNJOIcOKLo It was a hot drive home so i was able to duplicate it parked. Couple hours later when it cooled down, wasn't able to do it much.

How would the rack make the noise? Gear to tooth gap too much? It would make these kinds of noises? Im just still uncertain

yeah, im still not convinced this is a steering system concern.

While we were able to duplicate the clank parked and just turning the wheel, we had the car jacked up and loaded up the left front with a jack to the tire. The noise was not there. Then when we put the car down and it wouldn't do it at all.

So, any more ideas? I'm thinking left inner tie rod or the rack. Any ideas how to isolate this? Any more tests?

It would seem so. The noise is so bad and frequent, it should be cake. ..and yet im still here.

Right. This sounds like the same sound. I've done a little reading around as well and at this point I'm thinking Left inner tie rod, or the steering rack, or the steering rack bushings. I guess i should try to pull the boot back and check if i can see the snapping play in the inner tie rod. Why...

hey yianni, what's up? the car's been through countless hours of work and plenty of parts ..and there is still much more to do. There have been a whole bunch of ups and downs, but I'm still enjoying the supra. I was running the 57trim at 15psi untuned. It was fun but i never got to make it to...

I had the car on the lift and i had a prybar flexing the sway bar bushings, the endlinks, subframe bushings, control arm bushings..Nothing found. Lower ball joint didn't seem to have excessive play, but still a possibility i presume. Word thanks, yeah it could be a bushing. OK Yes, i have...

So I've been chasing this intermittent front end noise for a while now. Now that it's summer time, it's worse than ever. I was able to duplicate the noise today at a standstill. Here are the conditions of my noise concern. -Car must be driven and be warm or hot. -When the car is cold, or the...

What is FOD damage? what is a thrust stack? is it on the lower part of the shaft on picture one? What do you think about that last picture?

lost interest?

PICTURE UPDATE! I took the turbo apart and took these pictures a while ago.. i haven't had time for anything lately, so i'm posting it now. This is what caught my eye. It looks like long term wear. Hmm And also, i put my stock CT on my car. Put about 30 miles on it...

I will dissect it further once i get a second to look at my own car. As far as the oil pressure concern, is this normal operation?

The guy that sold me the car had the turbo on it. It's got like 12K on it, but i don't think i can claim any warranty here. Do I just take the center nut off? How would i do that with the compressor wheel broken off, hah

OK So, -Removed the old turbo. took it apart some, although i don't know if you can see anything there. -Removed the charge pipes from the turbo to the intercooler. Found a little bit of turbo debris there. -Removed the intercooler, tilted towards the hot side, spilled out a bunch of...

I have the turbo off on a bench at work. Ill split it apart and take a couple pictures. Please elaborate on the return volume test.

That looks like a nice upgrade. But I don't really need a turbo capable to 680 CHP. Anything like that, just a little smaller on the turbo and the price would be nice ;) I'm would suspecting a balancing problem, or a lack of oil pressure problem. I can check the oil pressure feed when i...

I'll definitely consider running a different bov when i get a new turbo, but i figured if my condition is normal and others experience the same normal operation phenomenon then it would be just fine. I like my recirculated ssqv setup, i figured this bov should be trusted since its used in a...
