Ok this started last wednesday night randomly. When turning round a sharp right hand bend, there is a rubbing noise coming from the front passenger wheel arch area. Five minutes later when i went to park up, the steering was creaking or making a "popping" like sound - hard to describe but its not that loud. The car has never done this before and I have checked everything I can think of in that area. Has anyone got any ideas what it might be? Someone mentioned a cv joint The car is lowered in Tein coilovers and 16s with 17k on it if that helps. The only thing i can think of is the arch liner snapped a screw of and i replaced it with a plastic screw that had a huge head on it, it didn't quite fit in tight and it might be rubbing the tyre/popping in and out as it doesn't make the noise all the time. Any help much appreciated Thanks, Ruth
