iambaz Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 Ok I think I might have been a bit eager in thinking I got a bargain with my new S3! I have noticed an issue when i turn the wheel into a full lock. It feels like my wheels are rubbing against the arches. It makes a rubbing noise and stops the wheels driving as they should. It is most noticeable when reversing and when i turn the wheel fully clockwise - although it is noticeable going forward and turning anti-clockwise. The car also shakes a little and the turn is not smooth - almost like one of the wheels is buckled. I have checked the wheels and they just don't look like they are rubbing. Plus they are only the standard 17" wheels so i doubt they should really rub the arches? I'm hoping that it may just be the wheels need aligning or something, but as you can probably tell i'm a mechanical idiot. Does anybody know if this might sound like or more serious problem? I'm gonna take it to the garage at the weekend, but would love to hear opinions. Apologies if i sound like a complete car retard (I am).
