Default question for the experts..........esp weirdness

hi there, my friends s4 is doing some weird stuff with his esp light and the power being cut. here's the short version : his car has coilovers and adj arms for camber, his current set up has a little camber in the front, hair off neutral. he says a creaking metal on metal squeak is followed by the esp cutting the power on mellow right hand turns. seems the problem does not occur going left or when he's pushing it. any ideas about whats going on? i said get an alignment and have you arm set back to stock/neutral postion. but what do i know i have an s6. todd

Default What kind of rims (offset/width), tires and suspension is he running.

I'm thinking it's possible that the tires are rubbing the springs. Check the springs for signs of rubbing.
