Sound logical, the noise is only really coming from the side with the perished gaitery-thingy.
@everybody
As it does have to be full-lock to be heard, any views on whether this is a MOT test fail?
What to do next?
-
Nope. Not the arch liner.
Maybe I'll ask the wife to jog alongside - listening (for a change) - while I do Uies in the road...
-
The arch liner wasn't apparantly loose when I had the wheel off this aft.
I pop out and check.

Have removed each front wheel and checked the Haynes suggestions: loose nuts/washers; rods OK; track-rod ends; and drive shaft/CV gaiters. The only obvious issue is the perished thingy in the photo...
The Haynes procedure to expose the CV joint seems a bit complex.

So, I took a few turns on full-lock and the noise is more like a scuffing - as if the front left wheel (especially) is chaffing on something. No apparant marks on the tyre.
Any suggestions?

Driving a VTi on your own has always been fun. Mind you, I spend more time lugging the familiy around.

Anyone got a link to how to embed images directly - rather than post a link?
Am sure I've seen it somewhere on here.

Not looked at the CV joints (or anything underneath for that matter).
I know what a CV joint is, but not what one looks like. Time to open the Haynes manual and start learning to be a mechanic...
I'll whip off the wheels over the Easter break and investigate.
Thanks for the speedy pointer.

When turning my MC2 slowly under full-lock, a grating (or maybe whining) noise comes from under the front.
I am guessing it is steering/suspension related - like track rod ends, links, bushes etc.
My MOT is due soon and I want to be prepared...
Your experiences and comments please.
