Noise when Turning Left

AndyMoire · Apr 22, 2018

Hi

I have noticed a noise when turning left at low speed whilst driving my Freelander. The noise is a low rubbing grinding noise.

It does not happen when turning right; it does happen when at a stand still and applying full lock and when whilst reversing on full lock.

Only the other week, the garage replaced my disc pad, and I was wondering whether this is my problem. I have checked as far as I can to see whether there is anything catching and I can't see anything obvious. Further, I have driven the car and then applied the brakes hard to see whether a stone has got caught, but no luck.

Does this sound like a brake pad/disc problem or something serious?

Thanks

if it is nothing to do with your brakes have a look at the drive shaft joint if turning left it would be the right one and vise versa but they do not grind so check the dust/ dirt guard that goes around the disk

Could this be knackered ARB bushes or clamps?

This is probably a sticking caliper or bent guard, maybe bearing or some other, but you should also check there is nothing seriously wrong with the car's transmission...

If Kwick Unfit did the job, make sure he didn't leave his sledge hammer and crowbar attached.
Cheapest check, jack up front wheels and turn by hand listening for grinding.

If the noise wasn't there before having the pads changed, then take it back.

Disk guard? They rot away and are a common cause of rubbing noises.
