Grinding noise - Help

[dave_f]

Hi guys, noticed last week after I got my manifold on that when I turned left I heard this grinding noise. It only happened once last week then on the way up to Japfest it happened again, it sounds like the wheel is grinding off the arch or something but its not low enough to do that, and it doesnt happen everytime I turn, only the odd time. I took the wheel off tonight to check if there was any of the arch lining hanging off but it was fine, anyone have an idea why or what could cause this? I shook the wheel and pressed down on the coilovers and there was nothing, they seemed fine. It only started happening when I got my manifold put on a week ago but it sounds like its coming from the front left, so I doubt that has anything got to do with it.

I bent back the brake guards there and still no success, took some pics to show the wheel turned fully in and fully out, can't understand what it could be.

Would I need a new tyre by the way? :lol!:

Thanks if anyone can help me, it's driving me mental and can be pretty dodgey when driving it. I was driving into my estate during the week and when I turned its as if the wheel bounced out in the opposite direction I'm driving and turned the car

Try checking your exhaust heatshield by the manifold
