When turning, do you hit the stops?

On one of our 850s, dry stops caused funny noises. This car had spoon shaped stops that could be lubricated on a regular basis.

Could be a lot things. At low speeds it may be a strut mount. Do a thorough check of the front suspension. Struts, strut mounts etc. Pay special attention to ball joints and tie rods which can be dangerous if they break. What have you replaced on the front suspension?

i also forgot to mention was that when i turn left the wheel vibrates while turning what i mean by that is jumping or stuttering a little what should i look for something specific or check the whole front end

Now that sounds like it could be a CV joint that is starting to lock up. Also, for peace of mind, check both inner and outer tie rods on both sides of the car. Long shot is a tie rod joint locking up. Bad tie rods can be dangerous! Don’t mess around with them. Replace! I’d start there and then move on to the rest of the front end if you don’t find anything.

Do you also hear a clicking sound when turning the wheel? If so, that is a CV joint shouting at you.

What parts have you replaced on your front end?
