Noticed on Sunday that my exhaust (standard Fiat exhaust) had twisted and the cruve in it was now pointing twards the ground rather than towards the car.

Last night I suddenly found that when I turn right at a junction or on a roundabout I can hear a scraping or grinding kind of noise from my rear passenger side.

I've checked the exhaust and I don't think its that that is causing the noise. It seems to still be in one piece and as far as i can tell is still sitting too high off the ground.

So does anyone know? Is it my suspension? or is it the fated Punto Rear radius Arm problem?

Or is it likely to just be a stuck stone? As I said...it only makes the noise when I'm turning what would be sharp right.

Thanks for any help!

Check the exhaust again carefully there it may be cracked around the rear silencer or some of the hangers may be rusted and about to fall off....

Would a cracked silencer make a grinding noise???

I've been told it could be my wheel rubbing on either the inner or outer arch, and as such it'll be my suspension thats knackered.

I don't think it'll be anything rusting...the cars only 4 years old..and well looked after!

I'll have a look tonight though.
