xr6tman Member 306 Member For: 10y 9m 25d Gender: Male Location: Perth Posted 04/03/15 11:48 AM Share Posted 04/03/15 11:48 AM So I mounted a curb a couple of weeks back and I'm starting to think the issue I now have is linked to that.When driving at speeds 80+ and via to the left I'm getting a grinding like sound from my front left (I think) wheel. It's almost like the sound you hear when you drive over those safety lines that are suppose to keep you from driving off the roadI'm starting to worry this could be the bearing, would I be on the money here or could it be the wheel alignment out of whack as have a bit of steering wheel vibration going in a straight line? (new tyres fitted and alignment done 2 months ago).I've test it up to 130km/h driving dead straight, and no issue...sounds perfectI'm thinking of going in tomorrow to get the alignment checked but if I'm wasting my time id rather keep the $65 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/90176-vibratingfrictiongrinding-noise-from-passenger-side-front-tyre/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully this fixes it. Turns out I was due for the 5,000km check so not costing me a cent 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/90176-vibratingfrictiongrinding-noise-from-passenger-side-front-tyre/#findComment-1533233 Share on other sites More sharing options...
