kock & scraping sound when turning at low speed

[godsANGER]

Hi all,

I get the sound when going at low speed so mainly when pulling out of a parking spot or maneuvering the car on the street, the scraping sound kinda sounds like when you catch the front splitter on a curb, the knocking may just be my arb bushers.


Any idea what to look at?

Thanks
Mike

could be wheel hitting the coilover when on lock(presuming you have coilovers fitted) if not then arb on driveshaft

My guess is also arb on driveshaft, mine is doing the same due to work arb bushes.

I'm running it low enough to just miss the driveshaft normally, but now the bushes are worn it comes into contact when on full lock.

just jack the drivers side up mate you will see rub marks on the arb if its hitting if your useing standard arb and drop links its 90% its that rubbing i bought some ajustable droplinks and cut 2cm off the bottom longer part and 1" off the thread to make them shorter stopped it completly for me
