I have had 2 new tyers put on to the front of my car and ever since i have had a grinding noise when only turning full lock to the left. Any ideas? I thought it might be the Power Steering fluid needs topping up?

anything else it might be if its not that.

Cheers.

Ryan!:confused:

yeah may be wheels rubbin on caliper or weights rubbin on caliper, ive had that issue, usually just a realignment needed, take it back where you had the tyres done, they will fix it....

yeah just seen that it only rubs on full lock, yeah just have a look in the arch with a torch on full lock, see if you can see it rubbing...

if it all the time, check and see if the metal shield on the back of the brake disc has been bent forward and is rubbing on the disc (i bent my mine every time i take the wheels off), if only thin sheet metal can be bent back really easy.

they also have a nasty habit of the bolts coming loose [:@]

just a thought - check the tyre size ?
