when i turned the wheel at about half lock the coilovers would make a twanging sound then the car would start pulling in the direction i had turned until i turned the other direction and it twanged then it would start pulling that way, it would settle and stop pulling after a while.
i checked the clearance from the wheels under full lock and there was room, i also tried it with a different smaller set of wheels, still did it.

just hoping someone can tell me if theyre broke or if ive done something wrong.

Could be a top mount issue whereby when you turn the wheel the spring is twisting.

As 3corsameal has said bud,sounds like the bearings have seized or fallen out the the top mount.
