Rubbing Noise

Post by **MColes** » Wed Nov 18, 2009 10:35 pm

I noticed that with a fully loaded car (4 adults) that there is a rubbing noise coming from the back n/s of the car but only when turning right. I've not noticed the problem with ony 2 people in the car.

The car has wolfrace wheels fitted I'm thinking that the extra weight is causing the tyre to rub the wing.

Any other suggestions on what might be causing this?

If that is so - the tyre will be marked ! Make sure the bump stops are present and correct. Is the 'car' a Minor ??

Bump stops are present (slighty cut down).

Oh yes

That's odd as I'm now on a different computer to the one I set it as my signature on and I can see it

Sure it'll sort itself out

Back on topic - I'll check the tyre Friday when I'm off uni and have some daylight to work in. The front n/s bump stop is missing but the noise is coming from the back. Could the missing front bump stop cause it to rub on the back, ONLY when turning right?

Sounds like the axle is moving sideways - check the spring mounts and location of axle to springs!!
