Does any1 notice a thumping noise when making a sharp u-turn?
I've noticed that my IS350 SP, is making a thumping noise when
I make a sharp U-turn,, i mean when the steering wheel
is turned to the point of it cannot turn anymore.. Well , its not
really a thumping noise, per say, its more of a feeling that
i'm going over 3 or 4 tiny speed bumps, while i make the U-turn...
Or a feeling that the front wheels are "skidding".. Has any1
experienced this? BTW, my car has 200 miles on it so far..

I think I noticed that in my 250 today, 1410 miles.
So many so quick.

I've noticed the same thing on my 3GS. I think I only started hearing it after I put on my 18" rims, but I highly doubt that it's rubbing against the wheel well since they are the optional factory wheels. Wonder what it could be...

I've heard this as well (3500 miles) starting within the first couple of days I had the car, and it's still continuing now. I just assumed that it was the wheels rubbing against the wheel well (I have the 18" OEMs), and try not to make extremely sharp u-turns unless I absolutely have to.
Regardless, it certainly seems to be something everyone is experiencing, so I'm not too worried.

I hope this doesnt turn into a recall, because wether or not everyone's car
does it,, its defiantly not right... When i pull out of my garage in reverse, i
have to cut the wheel all the way to the left, and the front end "skips"
and makes a thumping noise.. "as if i ran over ice".. I've pulled a dozen
or so cars out of my driveway, and none ever did such a thing, even cars that
had 20" wheels..
