Roley94 Member 114 Member For: 12y 1m 17d Gender: Male Location: Perth Posted 20/03/13 10:53 AM Share Posted 20/03/13 10:53 AM Whenever I turn right at low speeds and brake the front left wheel makes a grinding noise and tries to lock up. I jacked the car up and there is no play in the bearings and the brake pads and rotors are fairly new.I have heard that bearings can be bad even with no play and turning right loads up the left wheel, don't know what else might be causing this Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/84345-grinding-when-turning-right/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
