    Rubbing noise when turning with full lock

    Solved the grinding noise, brake disc cover at the back is rusted and was rubbing the brake disc, pulled it off the disc, as to the clunk still unresolved, clunk definitely is coming from the front passenger wheel, 5 pound of petrol and a box of matches please? ;)

    Rubbing noise when turning with full lock

    Searches it just now, no real definitive test according to the top 3 search results, saying this the noise seems to come from the front axle and not so much the vcu unit itself, cars 81000 on the clock and would be due replacing If not done before I purchased,
