Hi all,
So just i this last week I've started getting this grinding noise coming from the nearside front wheel. It only happens when turing right (i.e. the weight is on the nearside).
Taken the wheel off. Removed caliper and pads to check for wear. Nothing really abnormal. A small lip on one pad. No other signs of recent friction i.e. raw metal.
Any ideas what it could be?
Reading some of the older posts with similar problems people suggest; ball joint (replaced both mine last year), stone jammed (none seen when taking off caliper and pads) or bearing (i've had them go on other vehicles and am used to the whirring then knocking noise not this distinct metal grinding)
If anyone's got some advice i'd be much appreciated as i've got a return trip from the french alps coming up just before crimbo and could do without any hicups.
cheers
Frazer
