Squeaky Turns

[ChrisUK]

Hi,

Over the last week, I've noticed that my Leon is making a sort of squeaking/rubbing sound when turning left/right. The noise is coming from the front.

Any idea's on what it could be ? I know I need 2 new front tyres as they are pretty worn now, but it sounds like a brake noise (even though I dont touch the brake).?

Anyone have any ideas?

funny this but this is happening to me chris (me thinks)!

When i turn left & right whilst stationary, it sounds squeaky (like rubber twisting on rubber) Checked my front tyres today and their worn in the middle on both.
Similar sound when breaking slowly & lightly, even when turning left/right like somethings loose or snaped. Some time me dont even touch brakes.

Haven't a clue, doh

My tyres are worn more in the middle too, and they are not over-inflated ??

It's doing my head in now as it makes the car sound $hit

Just hope my front end dont fall off! lol.

how worn are your discs?

I had a problem where my discs had worn and rusted at the edges which rubbed the metal on the brake pads. The noise went when I applied the brake.

Hope this might help.

No lip on them as such yet, but it squeaks when i turn, not even touching the brake ??

and its a squeak rather than a groan?

 

[ChrisUK]

I can't really describe it, more of a rubbing like sound ?

 

[LeedsLeon]

I'm stumped! Good luck though

I can't really describe it, more of a rubbing like sound ?

is it the front or the back, / driver side or passenger?

Mines on the front, both sides... same for chris prob too.

Chris is your lowered- cause mine is on collies & poss it has put some stress on the front end parts.
But i cant explain the tyre possability on mine.

Both sides of the front - not done anything to the suspension (OEM)

here is to find out where the sqeek is coming from.
Jack up the car from the front so that fron wheels are in the air!
Spin the wheels and listen carefully for the noise! so you know where its coming from, do that with both wheels.
Turn on the ignition so you can turn the steering (easier to turn)! Turn the wheel left and right.

I had a problem with audi once, when car staionary or moving 1-5mph you turn it left or right, it would sqeek!
He checked it on the ramp and said it need new arms as the bushes were gone (some like that).

If you breaks are sqeeking, check the disk and compare them. the same with the pads!
try bleeding the brakes on both side this may help!
