My '08 Terios is making weird noises again!
It is making a noise which I can only describe as grinding/rubbing. It is almost as if something is rubbing on the tyre tread. It gets much worse when I turn left and almost goes completely when I turn right!?!?!
It starteda few days ago and is getting louder day by day (about 40 miles per day on average).
I took the left front wheel off this evening and had a looksee but everything sems fine. The bearing which I replaced is nice and tight and greased up so pretty sure it's NOT that (hope so!!) and brake is fine.
Tomorrow I will try to do righ side..............
OOOOPPSS Found out what it
OOOOPPSS
Found out what it was! While out the front I thought I had better have a sweep up. As I did I found a small metal object -----a SHIM from front brakes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Put it back in and noise has almost goen- I expect it will go completely soon as there is now a small ridge on bottom of one pad where it wasn't quite sitting correctly.
