Default Advice needed: Front tyre rub?

Since I've had my suspension dropped, I notice that when I am turning out on full lock, there is a clunking sound from the front. Feels almost like the LSD but surely that doesn't kick in on the front wheels?

Is this normal with lowered suspension?

This only happens on full lock so I am going very slowly. Is there anything important that could be damaged?

Hi Mark, i got your PM. I know you obviously know this but power doesn't go to your front wheels, so it definately isn't your LSD. I get a sort of clunky tyre scrub noise when doing a tight three point turn, but it isn't a mechanical noise. I know that when you lower a car you sometimes need to fit a spacing kit to your steering rack, i've heard it mentioned on here before, i'm not sure how the lack of having this fitted would cause noise though? I'm sure it isn't serious

Jon,
you're right, feels/sounds like a tyre/wheel clunk. Obviously I'm very slow & careful when on full lock, and it doesn't happen at any other time.
