weird noise

Postby Fairmont888 » January 26th, 2008, 4:58 pm

hey all, theres a noise coming from my EL thats giving me the mcshits, whenever i turn left as soon as the wheels turn to a certain angle i get this sound from the front left that sounds like my brakes are squealing, even tho im not braking... when it was serviced i told the mechanics but they claimed they couldnt hear it and couldnt find anything, any 1 know what it could be?? occasionally makes the same sound when i drive on an uneven road surface.. could it be suspension related??

yeh my el does make a noise on full lock as well.. but i dont think thats anythin to worry about... but the other noise im talkin bout is just annoying as its like a cross between brake squealing and a grinding sound, occasionally sounds kinda like a rattle on an uneven surface.. maybe my suspension is stuffed.. lol

Might sound a bit stupid but check you wheel bearning as at the certain point they start to grind it could be the disc moving slighty and toughing the caliper/caliper mount

just a thought as Ive come across this before

Good luck with it
