Sup guys, I am new to this forum and after posting 2 threads I find that you guys are very helpful. On my 1997 Magna TF when ever I turn at a round-about on my street, I hear a weird scrapping noise, I think it is the tyre but I can't really be to sure so anyway, have you guys ever had this problem and if you have, do you have any possible fixes?
Thanks In Advance :woot:

I have had this issue with a couple of things.

Do you have large mags?

If not I found sometime the metal dust guard on the back of the rotors, can rub, finding where it rubs and just bashing it back a bit with the handle of a hammer or mallet does the trick.

Scrapping or more like a clicking?

The scraping could be from the brake backing disk. If so, your wheel bearings could be on the way out. Does the noise come from the front of the back? The wheel bearings are not adjustable, but if the axle nut is not tightened propely, you can have excess slack in the front wheel bearings.

@Prowler More like a scrapping noise on the left wheel

@peaandham I'll try bashing it in
@erad It comes from the front on the inside near the springs

Pull the wheel off and have a poke around for anything that looks scratched up or dented. When in doubt, get it checked out.
