172 funny noise

[Clart]

when i turn the steering wheel to the right, i get this high pitched kind of rubbing noise. Can happen on full lock or just just round a roundabout - and its not doing it all the time, or when turning left.

Apparently the top mount bearings need changing - this likely to be it?

 

[Clart]

anyone?

That was a fault on some 172s when pulling away on full lock.

Renault modify the strut tops its been done to mine.They dont make a very neat job it when i put my strutbrace on i took the shocker tops off and seen that the metal work had been ground away they never even treated the metal it was bare

mine does that when the spacers arent on only to the right though. But then again it is slammed.

My brakes do that when i turn right.... does it sound like a brake noise??

How long have you had a 172 f**k trumpet?? Colour?

I had the same thing on my old pug, I was told it was a caliper i think? I could be wrong, Im getting forgetful in my old age, and this was a couple of years back....
