Grinding Noice When Turning Right

[plsteve]

Folks,

Just started this morning, a grinding noise (like metal rubbing) when I'm turning right. Only seems to happen on sharp corners of 90 degrees or so at slow speed. Or when parking etc. I hoped it was just something rubbing, but seems it could be anything from disks and pads (I have heard some rubbing when braking so assume the pads need done), to ball joints or maybe the bearings.

Any advice? It's a 2005 WRX with PPP.

Cheers

Steve.

Could be your driveshaft, had a similar prob turned out driveshaft gone!

Could be simply brake pads or wear sensor on the pads squealing on the disc m8, had that myself before.

Thanks guys, hopefully is just pads, the front right brake has been making a rubbing noise for a week or 2 under braking.

If you have mudflaps it could be them. I had the noise if turning sharp or had fat people in the car

I took the flaps off and problem solved.

So turns out it was the flaps - had a look of the car at lunchtime when it was day light -

The bottom of the mud guard mount was bent 90 degrees out and when the wheels were turned it was rubbing!

In my defence it was dark this morning! But I do feel a bit stupid!

Thanks for the help tho guys.

Maybe we shoudl start nominations for a golden cock award..

Last year I "somehow" mixed up the bottles of gear oil and brake fluid oil...Needless to say the brake fluid got a complete flush..
