whenever I make a right turn at speed I hear a scraping sound. 3 or 4 times it happens around each corner. sounds like the exhaust rubbing on something metal or the brake rubbing on something. I dont know much about cars to be sure though.

sounds like "tsh tsh tsh tsh"! with it being louder if I turn harder and faster.

thanks Jason

Hey Jason,

From what it sounds like to me, it seems that the heat shield on the exhaust has become loose, hence the rattling. You can either tighten it, but the easiest would be to remove it, it'll probably take about 10-15 mins, all you'll need is a small spanner and tin snips.

Cheers

handbrake is usually a more constant noise 'I would be checkin all the inner gaurds to see if there are any rub marks or lose panels 'what size wheels are running if their over standard might need your gaurds rolled a bit

This is fords fix for it some people say it works some say it doesn't last long I've noticed with mine it seems to help if I go to the car wash and really give the brakes a good high pressure clean it stops the sound but I do it every week
