Think I Might Have Broke Something

[edmondo]

Last Friday ran over a large stone and heard a bang under the car however nothing seemed amiss so went to Guru's Saturday - went on a run out to check boost and had a spirited drive back and all seemed ok.

When I turned into our road heard a metal scraping sound but put it down to passing a house that had builders outside.

But have noticed now everytime I turn the wheel sharp and at low speed there is an awful metal scraping sound coming from the front end of the car which stops everytime I touch the brakes.

so what have I broke?

Have you had a good look around the brakes discs, inside and out. you may have some small stones stuck in their.

Or your backing plate on the discs may have been bent... Other than that i couldn't say with out hearing it and have a good look.

cheers Dave - gonna see if my young un can have a look tonight................its an awful noise especially if your trying to show off

[Guest sti3_lewak]

It could be you putting weight on and the sound of wheel archs scrapping on the road

Ed, I had my Godspeed 335mm discs fitted by the Guru, and one of us must have slightly pushed the backing plate on one side. When I turned left there was a scraping noise, the Guru bent it back into place and it was never heard again!

You may have clipped the dust plate on the rear of the disc as Myles has suggested.
