All-
I am nearing the end of my time abroad and will be preparing to bring my T100 back to the US in a few weeks. When it gets back to the US, its going to get a refresh. Recently, after two years in the Middle East, the front end is a but "crunchy" when I am nearing full steering lock. Not at all when driving, or at highway speed. I only notice it when I have to back up or pull forward out of parking spots, etc. I have a small vibration from 60-64ish as well. It's nothing bad, but when I pass through that range, I notice it. My passengers normally don't, to attest to how slight it is. I may have the driveline clunk that I have read about when I am in reverse, but I can't tell if its that or the crunchiness.
I will likely get the problem diagnosed and handled at a shop, as I will also be doing shocks and a few other things. Anyone have an insight? I'm thinking that due to the hot, dry climate, its likely bushings and the like. Other than that, shes still in great shape. I will add- no lift, no large tires. I have 31in General Grabbers on Toyota stock alloy wheels. I did do the Aisin hub swap but I doubt that has anything to do with this.
