Scraping type noise when turning Options

[Timmyface]

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

Well there shouldn't be any play at all. Sounds like your passenger's side is going out though if you have noise from the front right side when you turn left, since when you turn left all the weight is put on the right side.

If your front left has play in it though then it needs replaced too, even if it isn't making noise yet. I've seen them where they are loose but not making noise, and also seen ones that made all kinds of screeching and grumbling noise but didn't have any play at all. Wheels shouldn't have any play in them. Typically: up-and-down play is bad bearing or ball joint, side-to-side play is bad tie-rod.

Hopefully you get it figured out! Front bearings are pretty common repairs on these cars it seems.

Mods, I don't know if there is one yet but could we make a thread in the stickies about diagnosing wheel bearings and tie-rods? Seems like we've had a TON of wheel bearing threads lately and I think a thread with some good info would be very helpful.
