Driving home from work yesterday, I heard the most horrific noise of metal scraping metal and what sounded like something dragging.
I pulled over, full lock left/right but couldn't see anything loose. Popped into a garage and was able to replicate the noise in the car park. He suggested it could be the heat shield on the ball joint.
When i got home I took the wheel off and checked the heat shield, it wasn't bent or touching the brakes.
- It's intermittent
- Not consistent with speed/braking
- Happens Randomly but if I pull away in 1st (slowly) and give the accelerator a push and quick release, I can hear it
- Discs are not discoloured
- No play in the wheel when jacked
I've got a mate who's going to help me take the disc off this week and have a look but I could do with some idea.
