Still looking for an answer

This morning on my way to work i was driving and notices a scaping sound coming from my front right wheel area when i corner to the left.

I currently have eibach progressive springs and KYB shortened shocks that have been on the car for a few thousand km's.

I doubt that it is my tyre scraping on the guard as the shocks are pretty firm and i have 15's.

Its not a constatr scaping sound when i go around a corner, it seems to happen once every rotation.

It will scrape...scrape...scrape depending on how fast im going.

If im going fast it goes scrape.scape.scrape lol

Anyone help me out

Did you inspect your tyre for any rocks or nails stuck in the tyre???

Hey mate no i havnt as of yet cause i was late for work this morning but im sure it wouldnt be that loud if it was just a nail right?

Sounds like rubbing/scraping

what you can do here is to find a big car park. turn your wheel to the left and move the car slowly. If the sound is consistence. go slower and stop when u hear the noise. Get down to your car and look at the area where the sound comes from. that is the best way to troubleshoot. There can be heaps of possibility.

I know where it comes from but there is no way to narrow it down anymore atm cause im at work.

The sound is consistant depending on how fast i drive.

Try the wheels followed by the shaft. Trust me, you never know that it's just something sticking onto the inner side wall of your wheels... :P

I hate this kinda thing happening to me as well. I get really panic when I hear unnecessary noise coming from my car.....You might want to ask your mechanic to look into it. It's saturday tomorrow anyway. Keep us posted after resolving the problem yeah. GL!
