So I just got my car back from the body shop(I had crashed it) and since they are closed for the weekend I have to wiats till Monday to ask about the problem. When I'm turning left or try to move left slightly at speeds higher then 20/25 mph I hear grinding/rubbing sound from my front wheel. I had my strut and wheel replaced becuSe the strut got bent during the crash and wheel bent as well. Any ideas what it could be? I haven't taken my wheel off ima do that tomorrow. Could it be a bad alignment? It does pull to the right forgot to mention. All help welcome thanks in advance!

 

It could be alignment/tie rods/etc. Best way is to take off the wheel and check for shiny grinding parts...GL

 

sounds similar to when i thought i needed a wheel bearring. took wheel off and turned out to be loose axle nut.

 

its probably rubbing on the strut or the splash guards depending on how hard that hit was check the lower control arm tie-rods and most of all wheel bearings does it get louder with speed. I had to change mine just recently and I had a grinding noise too it sounded like I was driving on straight gravel.

 

Well I got my car up and look for any rubbing of any sort and nothing, doesn't rub on the splash guard or the strut... Since my body shop was the one who installed everything they gonna do it at no charge. I'm taking my car in tomorrow before work. I'll post up what was the problem for anyone who has similar problem!

 

i would deff take it back to them but could be the brake shield take a look at that if you can

 

So I talked to my auto body shop today, they said the camber was off 2* they gonna replace the knuckle on the driver side. I did hit pretty hard so hopefully this fixes my problem. I'll keep updating!

 

Got my car back today! So I guess it was the spindle/knuckle. They replaced it aligned it and now she drives beautifully! Good to be driving again after 8 evoless weeks lol
