    wheels grinding when turning left...

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I'm getting this very annoying grinding sound whenever I turn left and/or making an U turn.

    I've looked at everything...tightening the suspension, taking off my wheels. It seems like its rubbing against the fender...but still not 100% sure

    also my upper arms seems cracked as well...but does this have anything to do with the grinding sound?

    anyways, Im bringing it to Penske tomorrow morning to dignose the friggin problem...the ride is lowered on Eibach pro/Bilstein

    any input will be greatly appreciated!

    If you're rubbing against the fender you should see the tire marks on the fender or fender liner. Usually its pretty loud.

    Most likely you have a blown control arm bushing that is squeaking when you turn. Nothing out of the normal.

    Im rubbing a bit...i can see slight paint rub off against the inner fender
    so its because of my upper control arm? but it only grinds when i turn left and U turn left...

    I did not have these problems with my LM TA reps...however after slapping on the works et28 in front...im gettin this...very frustrating and annoying

    maybe a bad wheel bearing? That happened to me when I had a bad wheel bearing about 3 months ago.
