Default Issue w/ left turn at full lock...

So, I seem to have an issue when I make a left turn at full lock under load or just rolling. Now, I do have an after market steering stabelizer which required me to flip my tie rod bracket up and mount the SS 16.5" eye to eye according to the installation. It seems to almost sound as if my anti-lock brakes kick in (where you get that pattering sound).

Any idea what could be the issue? Do I want my SS to have some play, fully extended, or very little? Perhaps it needs to be flipped around? I cant make tight left turns without backing up at least once or twice, where as I was able to cut the wheel hard and make the turns easily...so annoying.

HELP!!

When I mounted my SS relocation bracket and new HD damper, the instruction told me to turn the wheels full lock to the right. I put it all on, and kept the tie rod bracket in roughly the same area (just flipped on top) and it was fine. I wonder if that has anything to do with it? Just throwing out a possible option for you.

Just a thought... But could it be your tire rubbing the sway bar?

Before I got spacers my tires rubbed at full turn... Took me a while to figure out what the sound was because it didn't sound like rubbing. Honestly sounded more like an "abs" sound.

Probably not it, but worth checking to see if there's any wear on the sway bar.

Any more insight on this for me fellow members? Not sure what could be the reason this is happening.
