This only happens when I am in a parking lot making sharp turns such as around the ends of rows or into/out of parking spots. I lifted each tire and checked all wheel bearings, lower ball joints, and other steering components and everything seems firm. I did notice a bit of hydraulic oil on the driver's side where the tie-rod connects to the rack -and-pinion, but I am not near low on fluid and it steers very well. I have read a couple of stories online and it seems like it stems from the tires? I do not have the stock Goodyear tires I have Yokohamas, which have a bulk-ier tread pattern. Can anyone verify this is tire noise for me or maybe another issue?
