sports suspension causing this?

[sparrowblue]

Ok, so I have sports suspension on my car (apparently. ..I am not very learned in mechanics and aftermarket as far as cars go. I am an audiohead, not a gearhead) could this be what is making it so hard to pull a u-turn?

Please expand on "so hard to" with more details. Do you get funny noises? Is it hard to turn the wheel? Does the wheel not go around enough times? Is your turn radius several lanes at full-lock? Other details, like the brand/model of your suspension parts would also help to diagnose things. Colors of parts can also be useful if the brand isn't readily visible.

Tires could be rubbing the inner fenders if too wide or wrong offset wheels.

"sports suspension" means what? NOT ENOUGH INFO

Wide tires, wheel offsets, lowering, low tire pressure, disabled or failed power steering -- all could be reasons.

I seriously have no clue about this crap. 2012 yaris se, trd suspension. It doesn t make any noises, power steering is good. Its basically if I try to pull unto a two lane road I always have to take the far lane. There is no way I can pull into the closest lane with the wheel totally cranked. I didnt do the work and changes on the car, my knowledge is limited. Sorry for my lack of knowing anything about this. Also new, if I crank the wheel all the way when backing up, my car feels like its is still pulling in the same direction while driving for awhile.

lol how many turns of the wheels can you make?

Did the car come with the TRD suspension or did you upgrade it after purchasing the car?

Did you notice a difference after the TRD parts or has it always been like this?

The suspension was aftermarket, the previous owner had it put on after buying the car from what I understand from the car history. It had the stardard SE suspension, but was changed when the car was bought.

ok so have you always noticed this issue with the car?

Are the wheels stock Yaris SE?

pics plox. I'm thinking maybe the power steering isn't functioning 100%. or one of the front strut tops is loose causing it to get stuck.

Mr. Miles, you win. Strut issue!
