Hi guys,

 

So my new wheels are on and everything is pretty much perfect, apart from one thing I just noticed... When driving slowly (10mph) and turning left sharply there is a grinding noise coming form the rear left wheel...

 

I can't put my finger on what it could be, the new wheels have plenty of clearance of the callipers and it doesn't happen turning right... Any thoughts? Hoping it isn't going to be something like the diff on it way out or something like that.... I imagine it is due to something that happens when the weight shifts rather than the angle of the front wheels as it definitely sounds like it is coming from the rear passenger side.

 

Best.

Probably rubbing rather than grinding, pop the wheel off and see if you can see any obviously markings.

Ok yeah good idea., will do next time I have some light. Read that it could be the LSD, but it has started pretty suddenly - sounds as if a brake disc/pad is worn through and rubbing metal on metal.

 

Thanks for the spacers mate and pleasure to meet you.

No problem mate, it's a bit sudden and coincidental to be much else.

Yeah, weather got pretty bad by time I was home, accidentally ploughed trough a couple of huge puddles and has only started since then! Might be a stone wedged somewhere and when the suspension lifts slight the angle makes it rub.
