rubbing/grinding noise

have a rubbing/grinding noise on o/s front wheel only when turning right checked brakes they are fine any suggestions notsure.gif

could possibly be your wheel bearing bud,without hearing the noise its difficult to establish what it is. :roll: :roll:

I would guess that it's a wheel bearing too.

The noise is the brake disc rubbing the pads slightly because of the slack in the bearing.

If, when cornering, you apply the brakes gently, does the noise stop ??

If it does, it's almost certinally the bearing !

Thanks Dingo35 and jonvec22sri

had a guy look at the problem he said not bearing was caliper seizing on. dunno.. Then he looked over the car then told me rear caliper doing the same. Said to buy new rear discs, pads and rear calipers and he will do it for £150.00 🙁

nice for just a rubbing noise now need to find a nice cheap place for the parts notsure.gif
