hey guys...

my polo is at its most standard form, no alloys not lowerd, starting from scratch. but there is a strange "rubbing" sound cumin from the rear driver side (i think) when i turn left at speed. i checked the rear wheels and the guards were loose, ive fixed them but the noise persists....

any clues...anything at all could help
Cheers

sounds like a wheel bearing if it's just when you turn one way.

not an expensive job - but best to get it looked at.

Same thing was happening to mineâ€¦. It turned out to be how the exhaust was mounted and the center section was hitting the bodywork causing a rumblingâ€¦
Just got the exhaust adjusted and its perfect nowâ€¦.
Hope that helps

A similar thing is happening to mine. it is a mixture between a rubbing and scweeking noise coming from the suspension or bearning some where.
