Snapping sound when i turn fully left or right

I knew there was something different about my car, (apart from the steering wheel on the right) my supra doesn’t have CV joints on the front wheels, its rear wheel drive. Must be a limited addition Supra ?

Constant Velocity Joints

CV joints allow a rotating shaft to transmit power through a variable angle, at constant rotational speed, without an appreciable increase in friction or play. They are mainly used on front wheel drive vehicles.

No iwas just being retarded they are called half shaft cv's or something to that affect. Sorry for the incorrect nameing but thepoint still stands

You mean all Supras have rear wheel drive and mine isn’t special ! Shucks ( as they say over here) have I spelt that right by the way?

Right back to the original thread, a possible cause of crunching/grinding noise at full lock could be the steering bump stops are worn (see pic) they consist of a plastic cap fitted over the adjusting bolt, very cheap and easy to replace.
