Since the installation of the ES urethane bushings in the front end, including steering rack and sway bar, I noticed that when the car is running but still when I turn the wheel left or right there is a metal on metal vibration coming from behind the driver side headlight. When moving the steering wheel from lock to lock the power assist works fine and there is no whining or anything like that. When turning the wheel you can see the tires vibrate slight but this is causing something behind the headlight to rattle - definitely metal on metal. You can slightly hear it from in the car but can really hear it from outside in the front. I have tracked it down to the driver front corner but cannot imagine what it can be.

If anyone has a suggestion I would greatly appreciate it. I will try and search for the source over this weekend.

Thanks in advance.

Check and make sure your steering shaft isn't rubbing on your headers. I've had that problem before and that's all it was.

Scot, the power steering 'cooler' is behind the headlight down there - is it all buttoned up?

good luck.
