Ok just fitted 2 Kw sport shockers with springs on front today all went on ok but now for some reason when on full left lock reversing am getting an awful loud grinding noise like something catching can be heard from outside car. It doesn't do it any other way just reserving full left lock? first thought it was catching on inner arch but am sure its not this I am running 17" 8j and et35 standard 225/45/17 tyres. Garage next door said alignment might be the cause of it I know for sure tracking needs doing and has never been done since I bought my s3 Quattro. Its lowered front about 20-25mm so should be fine.
Got some pics with wheel of if anyone can see anything dodgy seems to be definitely coming from passenger side doesn't do going forward just in reverse was fine with standard springs and shocks.

sorted it I think lol this bit I circled on bracket on drivers side (pic is passenger) was too high up and running on inside of alloy wheel :( moved it down and all seems good now.
