Default possible steering problem

car: 00 civic dx - lowered about an inch with 00 civic si rims

so lately i have noticed that when im turning the wheel it feels like its rubbing on something, and i can hear this squeaking/rubbing sound. it does it when i turn the wheel left or right and it's constant.

i do have power steering and i checked the fluid and everything seems to be in order.

anyone have any idea?

Have you checked to see if there is anything physically touching the tire or wheel when you turn? Another thing to check is your tie rods, make sure they are in good shape. Check under the dash make sure ther is nothing touching the steering column that shouldnt be.

1st. Whats the tire size? Going from 205 to 195 may help a bunch.

2nd. You have camber, but I am pretty low. I corrected my hardcore rub...rubb...rubb...ruuuuuuubb on u turns by getting a camber kit.

However, i got nipples on the shock tower by camber kit impact.

I have had these rims with 205 tires for months and this just started happening.

Nothing is rubbing where the wheel is at either.

Hm.
