Grinding on full lock
 
Just bought a VTR - came free with all sorts of knocking noises and a kind of grinding noise on full lock from the passenger side.

Checked out driveshaft. Knackered! replaced. grinding noise still there.

Checked out droplinks. Knackered! replaced. No-more knocking over bumps, drives great, but the grinding is still there on full lock! The tyres aren't touching anything on full lock, but there's no noise slightly off full lock.

Any ideas???

could it be your brake hose rubbing against the tyre?

Interesting. The brake pads were changed before I bought it. But then this was the same garage that sold the car with its tyres at 60psi...:clapping:

I'll have a look. got to admit it feels slightly lumpy when braking. cheers.
