hi guys,my missis borrowed my lcr last week and a granny ran her off the road into a round about,she hit the back drivers side wheel into the curb which took a tidy chunk out of the tyre and wheel,which ive calmly acepted(suprisingly) but since then when i turn full lock to the right there is a rubbing sound comming from the front passenger side wheel,probably the tyre but how would this be possable? any ideas??? thanks

have you checked the plastic inner arch when she went offroading might have caught something with the front wheel that loosened it. Would explain if it loose why its only making a noise on full lock as thats when the tyre will be closest to it. Should be pretty easy to spot what is making the noise when the car is up in the air.
Could just go to price up an exhaust ( wink wink) in a garage with a lift and get them to lift it and then can check all of the underneath while they look at the exhaust. :) lol
