I've had a ting-ting noise when I turn to the right since about 100K. I've been trying to figure it out for about 10,000 miles now. Sounds sort of like dropping BB's into a tin can or a large garage door spring as it stretches.
I've done Eibachs and Tokiko's at all corners and the 96 brake upgrade in the middle of this mystery noise. I'm not sure if it's related to the upgrades or if it's related to the CV axle. Anybody else experience this noise?

Is it when you make a hard turn? If so and its like a clicking type sound then your CV joint is going bad and time to replace.

Yes, hard turn or soft turn. Any time there is some turning force applied to the front end. I just heard from another SHO owner that had the same problem and he said he had 'the CV axles replaced'. About 2 hours labor and $150 in parts.

Can you hear it make that noise when you are turning the wheels with the car stopped? Could be the rubber in the strut tower making noise as it rotates inside the metal. Mine makes a noise similar to that when I turn left.

Don't hear it when car is stopped and turning the wheels. Had the strut mounts / bearings replaced during the installation of the Tokico's and Eibachs. I'm putting some GCK CV joints on this Friday. Hopefully this will remedy the situation.
