whether i am rolling forward or backing up, with the wheel fully cranked (either way) i feel a shudder (Like a thud thud thud thud, and a bumping feeling) my dad seems to think it could be from having wider than normal tires?

 

How worn are your tires?

 

I got plenty of treat, yesterday a buddy said it was a CV joint or something

 

Your car does not have CV joints. If you have a wider tire in the front, it will rub at full turn. Hope this helps.

 

Check inside your tire well where the tire meets the frame if fully turned. If it's rubbing you should see evidence easily on the frame. I had this problem when I changed my steering rack. It only did it when I turned tight. The fix was some additional steering stop spacers that go on the rack at each end inside the rubber boot. They are a cheap and simple little nylon part.

 

Well thats good to hear, i believe they are wider than stock (someone put rims on it) and they are 17" by 8.89"... Not sure if i just round that to 9" orrr...
and I'm going to check right now to see if it rubs, thanks,i got a movie date tonight i don't want to scare her and her think the cars rattling apart

 

Whoops, i meant 16" by 9"

 

Here's the possible fix

Sounds almost like have air trapped in the in the power steering pump system.

 

Those will stop the tires or rims (usually the rim on the A-arms) from rubbing. And if that's the problem here is how you install them.
