I've posted about this a while ago,

basically when throwing my car round a right turn I get a grinding sheering sound.

at first I thought as had a lazy shocker, so I replaced them, I then learnt that the offset of my alloys was shite, so I replaced them, the rubbing on the arch disappeared.

The grinding noise however was still present. I could only assume the bearings where on the way out, as also there was a squeaky whistle coming from the rear quarter.

me and my mate today changed the bearings both sides on the rear and the grinding sheering sound is still there, though my mate thinks it could be from the front but not 100% sure.

I'm stumped atm, he's doing a trainee mechanics course and going to ask his tutor, but I thought I'd enquire here, as I'm worried about lowering my car until its sorted due to added stress when cornering.

any ideas or experience with this?

Does it do it when you turn steering from side to side

it only does it on a harsh turn right, seems to be worse after coming from a motorway and turning right

I havent, but surely that would happen on any turning, mine only seems to happen when sharp cornering?
