Title: Strange metallic noise from suspension maybe?
Post by: fredgroves on 26 April 2021, 09:44

I've been occasionally hearing a weird noise from the front right of the car, its usually on tight corners at lowish speeds.

It makes a scraping noise that sounds like metal on something hard, like you've grounded out the sump on the road.

Am going to book it in for a look (together with my sh1tlist of electronic gremlins) but just thought I'd mention it here in case anyone else was thinking they'd heard similar.

I'm sure that an earlier post mentioned a similar, scraping noise. Unfortunately, I can't remember in which thread but someone suggested it might be a small stone or bit of gravel trapped in the brakes..

I suppose it could be.... its been with me for a few weeks.... might have been longer, but have only recently been not playing music so loud that I can't hear anything while I've been listening to the new exhaust noises it makes  :laugh:
