Hi guys,
I need some help to identify something. Whenver I make a U-Turn, specially left U-turn, I heard some noise from my front passenger tire, it sound like the rubber versus something...hard to tell exactly even I have all my windows down. I've checked around the tire to see any scatch from it but nothing, it's not the metal noise. I could hear the noise some time but some time dont. Just curious anyone have have familiar problems/noise like my case. I mean what is the things could happend on the front tires/wheels? I have 61K miles on my 04 coupe, should I bring back to the dealer for check up, not sure if I am still cover guaranty!
thanks,

 

Do you have aftermarket or stock rims/tires?

It might be best to go to an empty parking lot with a friend and slowly drive around in circles. With your friend outside of the car, try to pinpoint the noise.

 

Check to see if your car has extended warranty first. It could be a number of things such as an axel or even a worn tire. If you feel confident jack the car up and take look for anything weird.

 

==> it's stock rims!! just curious (why rims???)

==> my basic warranty (60Kmiles) just over last month, now I am on the power train warranty (70K miles). Not really sure what parts under power train should be covered, any clues? I have a feeling it was an axel but the sound wouldnt' be like an axel problems. Just curious if you guys have simliar problem or not. I would lift it up this weekend to look and checking with the dealer next week!!! thanks guys, for your inputs!!

 

Why did I ask about rims? I was just wondering if you had an incorrect fitment (wrong offset/width/tire size) that could be causing this issue.

I'm not sure if this will help, but:

 

I have the same exact problmes, I have an aftermarket rim. But even with the stock one it still made that click noise. I kind of ignored it, but need to get it looked at, I don't think it's a major problem.

 

are you turning it too far to the left? prolly CV joint or something w/your steering/suspension.

 

It just a left U-turn, yes I have to make 180 degree at any normal U-Turn. I have this car for three years now, this is the first time I heard this strange noise. I would take a look on the bottom after I lift it up, first I thought the rubber of something grind on it way, anyhow, it's hard to explain!!!! LOL, I guess after 3 years long relationship with my car, I am not fully understand the G's problems!!!! oh yeah, I mean "G for both-G and Girl"
