Default something really really akward.....

what i'm about to tell you i have never experience before and I'm really not sure why it is happening. So basically when i turn the car very slow, it starts doing little jumps and the front tires begin slipping a little. I'm almost positive that it might be my suspension. My suspension is tokico struts with stock springs and no camber kit. If anyone else has an answer or possible answer, please say something because this is annoying fustration. By the way, the front tires are brand new. Any suggestions?

i bought the car like that in that height, i do not know the original height, but it's not that low at all. i'm not too sure about the clicking noise, but perhaps there is one.

I jacked it up already and i couldn't notice the problem, it seems to go away and just because you had a similar problem with tire pressure, it doesn't mean i'm like you, i'm smarter . I was told that maybe the jumping was being caused by the suspension, i think so or maybe the LCA, what do you guys think? (and it's not the tire pressure for sure)

check your bushings for cracks, tears, etc.

it only happens when your turning slowly?

well, my car use to idle really high and after i fixed that, the problem sort of went away, i mean it doesn't jump as bad anymore but it does still when i turn all the way at slow speeds. Could it be something that attaches itself to the suspension (like LCA, axles, etc.)?

well, if it happens only when the tires are turned and they are slipping, maybe there is something wrong with the diff... if all is well when the tires are straight, but when the tires are going different speeds while turned, or trying to anyway, then that might be your problem. i really hope its not, but the way your describe it, it sounds like that may be the problem.

As mentioned, check for worn bushings / bent components. This usually happens when worn bushings allow for extra play.
