Default Newbie HELP!

howdy guys, i've just bought a 2005 wrx sti type uk with ppp.

after getting it the 300 miles home the cars started making a grinding noise on full lock, this is only prominent as the car gets warm and is noticeable on roundabouts as well.

the cars been back to subaru where they replaced the center diff and all the diff oils but the problem is still there.

after not sorting it, they then resorted to saying that it's supposed to do that.... ha

anybody any idea's?

This maybe a long shot but it's thought and I'm no mechanic, have you checked how bad the front brake discs and pads are worn??
Sometimes the back of the pad can rub on the lip on the disc, especially if the calliper has been put back on with the flexi pipe twisted hence putting more strain on the pipe when you turn the car, as I said, just a thought.

By the way, welcome to Scoobynet
