Scratching noise when speeding into a turn.

[Peter949]

Okay, I kind of have a lead foot at times and when I speed into a turn I sometimes hear scratching when the suspension compresses. I'm guessing it's the wheels hitting the wheel well but a visual check doesn't seem to look it hit it. I'm pretty sure its the front. RWD Lariat with stock suspension. Can you guys chime in?

Hi Peter,

I would check the brake dust shield possibly scraping on the brake rotor. This has been identified before and may be the source of your noise. Simple check. I am concerned with your Speeding into a turn. If you do not have the skill set to handle a vehicle correctly while corning like Tiger Woods found out...God speed...you need help. With proper training you will find out how to take a turn with a skill set that will amaze your passengers, although I implorer folks to get frisky with their vehicle on the track...not on public roadways....

Thanks for the reply. Not a racing type speed but just not slow like average people take.

Edit: Guess it also explains my slow down when it happens also.
