So i have a 96 GSR and i have been noticing that when i turn right i hear some kind of rubbing noise coming from the left front. Everything is stock in my car, not lowered, and has stock rims. I looked around to see if it was rubbing anything but didnt think it was. Is this symptoms of my axle or ball joint going bad or anything like that? If so how can i check if it is that. Any input is much appreciated. I think the noise is much worse if i turn hard right (turngin the wheel almost all the way tot he right) This is all while driving

Thanks

John

 

Just a guess, but maybe the plastic on your inner fender well...?

 

Check your Rack & Pinion Power Steering, it might be on its way out, check your fluid level....

i dont think its the inner fender well since the car is not dropped and on stock rims. Any one else with suggestions. What am i suppose to be checking when i check the rack and pinion power steering? any other possibilities? Just curious what would be signs of an axle going bad?

 

an axle going bad usually makes a clicking noise while turning.

check your power steering fluid level. the steering wheel in my 93gs would literally squeak like i'e never heard before, then i added ps fluid and it went away. you would have never thought it by listening though.

 

Have you done any brake work lately or driven though any high bush ( A little taller than grass). You may want to check you rotor sheild on the inside of your rotor. Some times it will get bent and by turning it may cause it to rub. May sound funny, but I have had this problem before.

I had that problem this weekend.

 

Car had rotors and brake pads replaced a month back. A friend who is a honda mechanic worked on it. I will check the rotor thing and will also check the power steering fluid also. thanks for all your input and i hope i solve the problem.
