| Noise when going round a right handed corner or roundabout Hopefully someone can help as whenever I go round a right handed corner or round a roundabout I get a kind of whirring noise coming from the drivers side. I thought initially I could be conrer too quickly but it happens on almost all corners now. Any of you guys come up against this. Cheers Graham

Thanks: 0 Trader Rating: (0) | Re: Noise when going round a right handed corner or roundabout Do you have mudflaps? It could be either these, or a loose bit of wheel arch liner catching. I know I have a slightly loose exhaust heat shield and that manages to vibrate when I turn hard right.

| Re: Noise when going round a right handed corner or roundabout No mud flaps but I will check the wheel arch.

| Re: Noise when going round a right handed corner or roundabout Certainly not the wheel arch as I had a checklast night.

| 5vp3r m0d | Re: Noise when going round a right handed corner or roundabout How loud is this 'whirring' noise? And is it only on drivers side? Has a passenger confirmed it is not their side as well?

| Re: Noise when going round a right handed corner or roundabout I had a similar experience - it was a metallic rubbing noise only present when going round a right hand bend. I was able to replicate it by putting the wheels on full lock and going round in circles steadily increasing speed. Fiat took a look and did the same circling routine. It was traced to a loose back plate on one of the front disc brakes. A quick adjustment and I haven't heard anything since.

| Re: Noise when going round a right handed corner or roundabout I got it booked in Monday at the fiat dealer so hopefully it's just that. You can hear it the passenger side but it seems to be coming from the drivers side.

| Re: Noise when going round a right handed corner or roundabout Took it to the garage on Monday went out with one of the guys to listen to the noise. Took it back in today for them to strip the drivers side front wheel and have a look it. But they don't seem to have much of an idea what it is. I will keep you posted.

| Re: Noise when going round a right handed corner or roundabout I had a similar thing on my ibiza when the drivers calliper gave up the ghost and wouldnt hold a pad properly and a part was hanging off and touching the disc. Strangely it braked ok.
