Andys4 Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Hello guys I'm new to the forum as just purchased a b7 s4. Love the car and everything works except tv, but I'll have a look at that later. What has me a little worried is the scrubbing noise when turning on full lock left or right, almost as if the wheels are skipping. It' running 235.35.19 all round. Please tell me it' nothing to worry about. Cheers Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Q Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Welcome to the forum Andy, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) My first couple of questions are: Are the wheels standard? And is the car lowered? The first thing you could check is if the tyres/wheels are rubbing on either the wheel arch liner, inside of the wheel arch or rubbing on the suspension.

Andys4 Posted March 22, 2018 Author Share Posted March 22, 2018 Hello Steve thanks for replying. The car is standard. Regards the tyres scrubbing I've not had a chance to have a Look with working shifts. If the weather is a bit better at the weekend I'll have a good look. Had a look at the tyres and there is no scrubbing marks on them. Are there any issues with the diff on these as I've got a bad feeling with out really looking at it that it could be at fault.

Steve Q Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Looks a very nice a4 :) let me know when you've had a chance to check the tyres etc. Is the a4 handling normally? Cheers Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andys4 Posted March 23, 2018 Author Share Posted March 23, 2018 I've had a look at the tyres and there's no scrubbing on them. And the areas they may contact and there is nothing. Regards the handling, it's spot on. No knocks or bangs or anything it's ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Q Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Hmm, ok. Well.if it's not the handling or tyres then I wonder what it is. Does the noise happen at specific speeds, road conditions etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andys4 Posted March 26, 2018 Author Share Posted March 26, 2018 Does it when pulling out of parking spaces, away from juctions when a fair amount of lock is required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Q Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 I wondering then if it's some rubber bush that's failing or CV joint etc? I dont think it's driveshafts as this would make a knocking noise instead of a scrubbing noise. Cheers Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
