Default UL with data controller+youzealand blocks problem

sup everyone. i have a UL with data controller+youzealand ss kit pro setup.
my problem is whenever i make a left or right turn, it makes a cranking sound
does anyone have this problem?

i took it in for service and ask the mechanics to find out whats making the sound, and they couldn't figure it out. they suggested its from the after market drop blocks

would appreciate some help...

Do you think it could be a rubbing tire?

Have you cut your backing plates on the front brakes? Looking through a japanese mod book for the celsior the other day,I noticed that they showed the front brake backing plates need to be clearanced when fitting an SS kit so that the lower balljoint doesn't foul.

Another thing I was thinking is maybe the half shafts. My accord made a horrid sound when the cv boots went bad.

You should bring it to Samson at Revision Audio. His installed those things many times so if it is the aftermarket stuff, den he should be able to spot the problem.

cranking? Like a high pitch noise? I had the problem where my dust covers where rubbing on the rotor while turning but a good pull with a flat head fixed that problem for me.

I've got some noise on the front of mine. I have the blocks installed just on the fronts for now, and I know it's the brake dust shields. When I installed, I had to bend them a bit for clearance but I don't think I did enough. Time to chop them off.
