well we drove the crossfire up to asheville nc today to see the biltmore. Anyways as I was leaving the biltmore when I put the car in reverse and turned the wheel to backup there was a noise from the driver side front. Almost sounded like a groaning sound. I was only able to replicate the noise later that night when the car had sat for a couple hours and again I backed up and turned the wheel. Any ideas what I need to look for?

 

a front tire rubbing agaings the plastic inner fender well. What size are your front tires?

 

They are the stock continentals

 

I would have someone duplicate it with you outside looking and listening...

 

doc you think just like me. I did this... My best guess is the ball joints need lubed up. Only does it when cold and in reverse with wheel turned to the max.

 

Mine makes the same groaning sound........my front tires are too wide
