strange noise when cornering.

Good evening,

I have a 57 plate MCS and having a few strange noises.
Everytime I go round a corner iam getting a grinding sound which I think is coming from the front of the car as soon as it straightens up the noise stops. Anybody else have this problem or have any ideas what the problem maybe? I was thinking along the lines of wheel bearings?

any help will be much appreciated

thanks

Keith

Strange noise when cornering

I had something similar on the nearside front especially when going really slowly (e.g. parking).
Took it to the dealer and they diagnosed some small stones had got in between the disc and the disc shield
They took the brakes apart to sort it but you might be able to get in behind with a piece of stiff wire or similar

It started to rattle this morning when I started to drive off in a straight line :-/ Ive had the death rattle done in the past 6 months when it was under warranty but the dont give warranty, on warranty jobs if that makes sense. Going to have to get it in and checked.
Cheers for your help I may take wheels off and have a little look around

Keith
