2001 1.8 LX - rubbing from front - Richie_green
Hello

Yet more problems with my Mondeo

I have noticed a rubbing noise when turning left but not right - it seems to happen when on half lock then stops. The noise seems to be coming from the wheel arch area or amybe just behind.
Any ideas?

Front wheel catching the arch? Any rub marks showing? Non-standard wheels/tyres?

Wheel arch isnt catching (what I can see) and there are no rubbing marks. It sounds like a bit of a dull noise
