    Hi Guys

    I get a grinding noise from the front left wheel when going round roundabouts!

    Could it be a bearing? It also happens when reversing tightly on full lock! The sound only happens when I am on a tight lock - but not when I am driving "gently" on the roundabout!

    Any ideas?

    Cheers

    Kevin

    Hi, yep could be bearing. Jack the car up so that wheel is off ground, then hold it top and bottom and see if you can move top/bottom in and out; if there is play then it is likely the bearing.

    Are they the original tyres?

    I´ve got the same with my wintertyres. The tyres rubbing on the inside plastic cover. There is a flap sticking out at the top front side. You can shorten it or let the tyre do the job :D
