Yet another prob, grinding when turning.

[DrR]

Car grinds when turning, but only at a certain angle, gets see anything rubbing, any ideas of anything i could have missed?

 

[Adamhodg]

when slowly moving/ parking etc?.
I have the same problem if so.

 

[DrR]

yeah, well it might do it at high speed, but would probably flip the car if i turned it enough to make it happen. lol

 

[Adamhodg]

im hoping that buying the strut top knocking washers will fix this. Other than that i have no idea what it could be,

 

[DrR]

Oh yeah forgot about those!

 

[Adamhodg]

im going to buy some and pray that it fixes this problem as it is slightly uncomfortable turning it when it feels like its grinding!.

 

[DrR]

Where you getting them from?

 

[Adamhodg]

a few people sell them on here iirc. Although im gonna get some made up more than likely.

Is this the creaking?

So it grinds on lock, no harm being done , get used to it lol

front pads low?

 

[DrR]

front pads low?

Wouldn't it be constant if it was?

not nessisarily,(sp) it will all move underload. have a peek through the wheels with a tourch you can see the pads quite easily

 

[ja.jack]

Who brakes on full lock?

 

[Jay Payne]

Who brakes on full lock?

you dont have to be braking to hear the pads grinding. And he didnt say full lock

 

[DrR]

Don't think it's the pads, as they had about 40% left a month ago, but getting new disk and pads soon anyway, maybe that will cure it.

ok mate, just a thought.

could be a stone tho, see quite a few cars at work with stones trapped behind the disc, just another thought. and before someone says 'stones dont make a noise' or some s**t like that, im trying to help the guy

 

[DrR]

lol noisy stones! think if it does it after new disks i'll look into it more.

Cheers

 

[Jay Payne]

let us know how it goes

 

[BJG]

Does anyone know if changing the top strut washers fixed the grinding problem?

 

[dave1980]

i get the same sort of problem. mine only does it when i turn to the right at slow speeds. it hasnt always done it, maybe a disc and pad change will sort it out. seems odd though.

 

[Andy1.2]

Probably just the inside of the tyre touching the arch liner. Mine does it occasionally, its no biggy doesnt do any damage just sounds bad!

 

[shell85]

went shopping today and in the multi story on full lock turning right my car did the same!!!! it made a judder sound, at first i thought im in the wrong gear but went into first and it still done it. maybe tyres rubbing? maybe pads i think mine are on the low side? or is it renault?
