Hey guys,

Not sure if this is the correct place to post, but it shall do for now.

For a while now i have been hearing a Scraping type sound from where i believe, in the Front Passenger side wheel... Only when i'm turning Left.
Any type of turns as well, little vears to the left, to hard turns, so its not the Power Steering either.

Its making a "shhhch shhhch" type sound if you can try understand that haha.


Through maintenance and servicing, i've had the wheel bearing tightened, both cv boots changed, and the brake pads aren't even at half way yet.
I've taken the wheels off and thoroughly cleaned and looked for anything caught, or scraping.

The sound was there before i installed my coilovers, and before my new rims i believe.

So it's got me quite stumped.


It SOUNDS as if its coming from the front when i stick my head out, but it could be transfering from the back of the car.

So if anyone has ANY help at all, it would be great. Its not a big concerning problem, but it's bugging the hell out of me.


Thanks smile.gif

How did you have the wheel bearings tightened? Sealed bearings can't be tightened or adjusted (unlike tapered assemblies on RWD cars and trucks that can be re-packed with grease and adjusted), if they have play or anything like that then they are bad and just need replaced. I'm betting that's what the problem is. If someone "tightened" it by putting more torque on the axle nut or something then all they did was cause it to wear out faster by putting more tension on it.

If a shop did it I'd be giving them an angry phone call for ripping you off on a service that's not used on these cars.
