Every time I turn the wheel all the way one driection or the other, it sounds like satan is spawning out from under my car.. metal is scraping and gods demons are coming out... anyone know what it could be, and how much it would cost to fix? let me know... thanks!

if its squeeling most likely its ps pump going bad or belt tensioner is bad but with out actually hearing it cant really say

We heard the sounds at K&K the other night and one of them is the plastic lining in the wheel well rubbing against the tire. There's still two other sounds it's making though. :dunno:

Yeah until someone actually gets ahold of it and does a proper diagnosis its a guessing game. It does however sound like something directly related to the steering rack whether it be the powersteering pump or just being low on P/S fluid who knows...... get the thing checked .

Start with something simple, check the fluid levels, it may be that it's a bit too low. If that is all topped off, try to see if the bearings are bad (hub). I had my front left wheel bearing seize and break off my car. I lost 3 lugs and the car rested on the rotor and rim, tearing up my quarter panel and making 1K of damage.

Shoulve gotten a merc. lol.

I know this sounds like a noob move, but its what i always do when my car has problems. Rather than risking making it any worse, take it to a dealer or some place to get it looked at. If you live int he new tampa area, theres a decent mechanic over on Cross Creek BLVD next to Bay Beans, its right by Benito Middle School and the back entrance of Hunters Green. Hes done work on my car a few times.

Figured it out (chris & jeff) pointed it out, it was the wheel well liner. So I took a lighter, melted it kinda, and molded it back..ALL FIXED! :) thanks for all the responses though.

yeah, it sounded like metal was going nuts underneath my car, but the guys pointed out they saw the wheel well liner rubbing.. so i guess thats all it was... but man, its nice being able to turn the wheel and not worry about people being like WTF!?!?! is that sound in the BMW! those pieces of sh1T!

Very good thing..
