Found & fixed: scraping noise when turning right or left

[@jukka1996]

Broooo I just got my new (to me) corolla and it does this when turning left. I know my way around cars but never would I have thought about the dust cover scraping as I thought it would be audible independent from steering angle. I'm gonna have a look at the cover tomorrow. If it is the issue you saved me like 3h of driving to the dealership and back. Perfect video: short and straight to the point. I like that! Update: It really was the dust cover. I owe you one my dude

[@Clipper_Damez]

Hahaha, it was so funny, after watching this I went to my car and reached in to feel the dust cover behind the brake rotor to see if it was bent or damaged somewhere. When I tried to pull the bottom of the dust cover away a little bit, a small rock fell out! Drove the car forward and back and the noise is gone!! So happy it wasn't anything like damage or anything major that would cost a lot to fix. Also super happy I didn't have to take the wheel off or even get under the car! I never would have known to check this way if it wasn't for this video, so thank you so much!!!

[@Dante012769]

Thanks for posting the video . Something told me to see if anyone else is having the same problem and sure enough it worked.

[@connormckibben5986]

After a few hours of searching for someone able to replicate this sound- I've found it. Spectacular! Thank you so much- now I can fix this noise that has plagued me for... more time than I want to admit...

[@gntsmike]

This is Christmas miracle! This might be the first time ever where the KZbin video was exactly what my problem was. God Bless you

[@raymondhill5099]

I started hearing this same noise and was just about calling the workshop but decided to look this up. Luckily I found your video and went to check, I saw this same situation. Thank you so much for making this video.

[@DIYtimeTRD]

Glad it helped! 😁👍🏼

[@JIRENTHESPACERADER]

Hey buddy well done my mechanic finessed me buddy new discs and breaks plus a caliper

[@tonymcfeisty2478]

Another possible cause of this sort of noise is if a small stone gets stuck in the gap between the shield and rotor

[@lunatone3333]

If only it was that for me 😭

[@neem4life]

Thank you so much. My car has been driving me crazy. This is the exact sound I hear when I turn right to park. Thank you

[@philipgrady4638]

I had this exact problem, had convinced myself it was a wheel bearing. But the noise just wasn’t right. Until I saw your video and you had the exact noise I had. Checked my dust cover and sure enough it was bent inwards and in the perfect position to run when I had my wheel cranked for a hard turn. Pushed it out and away from the rotor and bingo fixed!!

[@DIYtimeTRD]

Awesome, glad it helped!

[@andytapel]

Thank you! I was trying to find a shop to help me with this today. Glad I found your video! My issue is the same as yours and I fixed it myself. You saved me some money.

[@DIYtimeTRD]

Awesome!

[@kz1231]

You're a genius! Heard this sound upon driving my JUST PURCHASED, used Prius into my neighborhood. I'll be taking it back Monday morning to get it fixed! Thanks again!

[@tariquyghur7283]

Yeah, exact same noise and exact same problem, and exact same trick fixed it! I was thinking about driving 200km to my mechanic, you saved my day. Thank you!

[@DIYtimeTRD]

Awesome!

[@fltstfrnd]

Thank you! I had the exact same noise and the exact same problem. It was harder to get the tire off than to fix the issue. Thanks for the info on the dust shield. It was easy enough to straighten with a pair of pliers. If you are reading these comments because you have the same issue and are at all handy, I recommend that you look into this yourself.

[@DIYtimeTRD]

Awesome, thanks for sharing!

[@carolstarot6546]

Thank you for this video! I had the same problem with my Toyota Camry ! I found a small tree branch stuck behind my right front tyre! So thank you ! You saved my day! Because l was really worried! I thought l may have to call out ! A mechanic! 🙏

[@bardted1]

Thank you very much for posting this! I thought that rattle and scraping sound was going to be a major repair. Watched your video and fixed it in two minutes. It was just a bent dust shield. 👍

[@WspiDigits]

Good looking out, my pt cruiser recently started doing this when breaking. My wife thought it could be a rock too, thank you bro. 1 step closer

[@AncientAli3n777]

Did you figure it out?

[@DrGenestealer]

Thank you! This video helped me so much. Turns out the edges of the rotors had corroded and were rubbing against the shield. I bent the shield slightly and also removed the corrosion on the edges of the discs/rotors.

[@geyck]

It worked! Recently changed my breaks and I chose to ignore the scraping. The wife wanted it fixed. Luckily it was just the dust shield. Easy.

[@craigmurrayauthor]

EXACT same noise, so now I at least know what to look for, brilliant man, thanks

[@joeycarter9020]

Thats exactly what my nissan sentras front right tire/break sounds like when making turns. Thank you for the video, I'm gonna try and see if i can fix it myself, with only ever changing break pads once in my life 😌

[@nismoskys]

this has been driving me nuts. slightly different sound (cling cling cling on deep right or left turns) but same culprit. bending the brake dust shield back a bit took care of it. great video. thanks

[@DIYtimeTRD]

Nice! 😁👍🏼

[@jacobmartinez3404]

I found this video and had the EXACT same sound on my lexus IS 250 Thank you for the post my issue was identical

[@DIYtimeTRD]

👌🏼

[@johnluke]

Thank you. Fixed our 2017 Nissan Pathfinder. Luckily, I didn't need to take the wheel off, I was able to squeeze under it and bend the dust shield with a stubby flat head screwdriver.

[@DIYtimeTRD]

👌🏼😁

[@Clipper_Damez]

That's great, I was wondering if it was absolutely necessary to take the wheel off to do this. Hopefully I can do it the same way for mine as I don't have the tools to lift the car.

[@Trance3happiness]

I had to hear the same noise my car did as well, this easily helped saved extra money.

[@erinsergeant7578]

Thought my car was a write off until I watched this video, fixed the problem in less than 20 minutes. Thanks for sharing this you're a legend! 😁

[@cobracommander4378]

O.M.G great video brother!!! Super helpful, now going to check my car. So happy you skipped 5 minutes of bull- crap most youtubers wast your time.

[@JuanRamirez-vz2dr]

BROTHER THANK YOU!!! I had the same issue and saved myself a trip to the garage.

[@mattbuchanan3587]

Immensely helpful video, thank you. Had this on a 2019 Prius+ , and after sticking my hand through the wheel to adjust the dust shield I had a heard a small stone drop out.

[@davidlindstrom6110]

Thank you for posting this video. Solved my noise issue in 2 min. Cheers!!

[@hotmike505]

I fixed it without taking off my wheels, I just put my hands in between the rims and then I pushed off the break shield or whatever it’s called from the breaks so whatever was stuck in there , rocks and what not it was removed and the noise went away just like in this video , thank you !

[@mitchellrea6442]

Thank you! I was starting to think I had a CV or hub going out but it sounded really “Tinny” type scraping only when I turned right. Sure enough- bent out the cover away from the rotor and it’s gone.

[@SaddieMarie23]

Thank you this is what mine sounds like right now. I hit something this morning and am hoping that it's a minor fix like yours.

[@DIYtimeTRD]

Sounds like it!

[@briandonald]

It was the dust shield as well for me. All set now. Thanks!

[@mamoony]

this is the exact sound my car is making right now (also an is350) I hope its the same easy fix. thank you

[@Mohammed-jk5vq]

Yes same sound on my altima .. I will check it tomorrow .. I wish it is simple like yours so I do not need to put money on it. Thanks for showing this case.

[@Clipper_Damez]

Just started hearing this noise on my front wheel, hopefully it's the same simple to fix issue. Thanks for your video!

[@mar504]

I'm just about to replace my CV axle, almost ready to place my order when I came across this video. Will check in the morning. It would make sense, I was on a rough rocky road when this all started and I some rocks did hit something on the undercarriage. This would save me a ton of time and expense, hoping this is all it is! update: damn... dust shield clearance is fine. Probably CV after all

[@olukayodeakinwale3587]

Straight to the point. No bulls**ting. 👍

[@fifec123]

Thank you for posting this, I had exactly the same problem as you, it was the dust shield so a very quick and easy fix 👍 thanks for helping me out

[@mattmccarty72]

Holy crap, you just saved me a boat load of money , …. Cheers.

[@DIYtimeTRD]

That’s awesome, enjoy! 💪🏼😁

[@jeremyhenne9526]

Thank you so much for making this video if I wouldn't have stumbled across it who knows how long it would've taken me to figure out what was wrong.

[@honestnewsnet]

Did it make that noise the scraping noise when you were in park or only when you were moving?

[@ChaotickCreations]

Thank you for a video that’s quick and straight to the point!!

[@DIYtimeTRD]

[@pk3346]

Thanks a lot i where stresed two days and i decide to fix and it works same stone in dust cover Many Thanks For that video ❤❤❤

[@quemyst]

I'm having the same noise on the same side. This after taking it to the shop to replace my lower ball joint and CV Joint boot. Gonna check this out when the sun goes down today.

[@DZ110]

Nice video! I got exactly same sound for few days and that is so annoying when turning left with certain speed. Will have a look this weekend

[@jesusvids2023]

thanks so much my exact issue and i didn’t need to take the wheel off. God bless. 🎉🎉🎉

[@kevla8019]

Thank you so much for this video, had the exact same problem had my car booked into the garage but tried this first and problem solved

My vehicle’s making the same noise . I’m gonna try this , thanks for this video.

[@thatdude7751]

My wife's Pathfinder does this and it sounds just like that. Thankful it sounds like a cheap or easy fix. Thank you!

[@DIYtimeTRD]

Hopefully!

[@omgGETALYFE]

Thank you. I think you helped my friend find the problem. His truck sounds exactly like this. Hopefully it’s something as simple as this.

[@Moonchild-bb5dr]

Oh thanks for this video. My car makes the exact same scraping noise. Pretty sure by the sound i have the same issue. Its time i check it out. It kinda sounds like a rock that gets temporarily stuck but it hasnt come out

[@Diane_R]

Thanks for the concise video. Well done.

[@DIYtimeTRD]

Thanks!

[@shiner421]

I have a similar issue except my sound is more like a fan blade that only hits once in a while. its not as consisent as that but very similar. 2 mechanics however so far cant find any problems yet that scraping sound is loud and very clear to me.

[@MrDovanele]

thank you. Now I know what is that crazy noise is!

[@pantoja831]

I have the same problem when turning, I’m gonna try this out bro. Dope video 💯

Omg same car and same noise, now I’m gonna go check my car out. Thank you so much buddy!

[@DIYtimeTRD]

👍🏼

[@vincentlaguardiagambini9727]

I am having a similar sound only when I am turning left with my Corolla. I hear it right around my feet so I think it is the front left wheel too. It recently snowed here and after shovelling I placed the shovel next to the car in a pile of snow but accidentally drove over the shovel when moving the car through the snow. It dragged the shovel underneath the car for a few metres and since then I've heard this sound. Hopefully it is something simple like this video and not a major part that has been damaged.

[@jeremyvargas3968]

...step 1... jack up DF wheel... wobble wheel left and right, then top and bottom to check for looseness within tie rods, l wheel bearings, ball joints and bushings, next place pry bar between upper/lower control arms and steering knuckle to check for play in ball joints... THEN remove wheel, to inspect pads, and rotors.

[@bais6844]

Thank you so much! This helps my anxiety

[@LukeAkAscooterkid]

Had this problem a while, was a seized caliper, probably the shielding too, garage said it was the worst they'd seen, get it sorted if this is your problem!

[@DIYtimeTRD]

[@HickxiMMA]

Me trying to convince myself it's not the cv axle...

[@brendon69]

so real 😭

[@Miloboa]

you’ll know if it’s the CV axle, every single time the wheel turns it’ll chirp like a bird and it’ll be extremely loud. plus if you take it into a parking lot and inspect the wheel while driving it’ll kinda flop around

[@Andrew-mo6uu]

@@Miloboafire comment thank you

[@prizory1101]

I already fixed mine it's not the axle if it makes the same noise

[@rnixon795]

was about to bring my car into the garage. hit the dust shield a few times and a stone fell out thanks for the video

[@DIYtimeTRD]

👊🏻😄

[@southshoredanny3935]

This EXACT sound, started last night and i just drove to work worrying all morning, gonna check this first thing after work and see if i have success like the rest of the comments

[@TheRealBakiHanma]

Welp I will definitely be trying to fix this issue tomorrow or Saturday. Thank you so much 👍🏽

[@briandonald]

That’s exactly the sound I hear from my Impala along with a rattling sound when driving normally. I wonder if the issues are related.

[@highwinds71]

Now I've got to go check to see if that one dust shield thing is the cause but with this beast it is probably everything wrong with it that has to do with the steering. As it is a bucket of rust underneath. Well I have found the issue. The suspension is the cause of the scrapping. It's been doing that since I bought the car . Now I've got to find how to fix it cause it tore the hell out of the new rotor I put on a week ago .

[@davidtodora3153]

Thanks I hope that’s all that is wrong with my 2005 Toyota corolla LE. It has all new brakes all new rotors all new shoes for each wheel new tires, etc. someone told me it could be rack and Pinion steering. I have not taken it anywhere yet I will look at your suggestion.I hope it is what you illustrated and thank you so much for the video. And take care buddy

[@DIYtimeTRD]

Hope thats what it is... !

[@toritant5080]

Hmmm sounds like what mine sounds like except only when I’m turning left. Good to know this is one thing I could look for rather than running to replace my wheel bearing asap without a diagnostic

[@569521406]

Man this is the only video I find that sounds like my car that make this noise almost sound like a power steering pump noise. but my car is a eletric steering car. Now I know what to look.

[@chrisryan8863]

Thanks for the video. I have a question. If the noise was the brake/dust shield hitting the back of the rotor, then why did it only make the noise when turning the wheel?

[@DIYtimeTRD]

I would guess wheels flex or change angle a bit when turning.

[@lot5953]

I hear scraping sound when I turn but the sound goes away quickly even though I haven't completed turning yet. In his video the scrapping sound comes during the turning but mine it only comes at the beginning then it goes away

[@cjstubejackofalltrade1551]

I hit the curb (left front wheel) day before yesterday and it started making noise when turning left yesterday. Same noise as this. Metal to metal. It sounds like it comes from the right side. Need to have it checked. Thanks

[@rick343]

I'm a minute twenty six into video, can't wait to see if this is the problem, my wife's Honda Accord started making this exact noise, only when turning right, today.

Thank you so much this was extremely helpfully.

[@PokeMane-h3h]

I just replaced my wheel bearing and am getting a little more aggressive noise like this but similar. And I had to bend and twist my dust shield to get it on... im really hoping this is the problem.

[@PatrickLacasse-r9q]

My car has same noise ! Next free spot at my garage is in a month...should i find an other garage or it can wait?

[@jamiechau7727]

Wouldn't this noise be constant even when not turning if it is due to the brake shield rubbing the rotor?

[@nin10jo38]

My boyy🎉replaced the hubs and thought I did something wrong nope this was the issue thanks again

[@libertyrogers1608]

I got a similar noise but it's on both sides. I am thinking it might just be ice between the rotors and dust thing bc it snowed and since has made that sound. I get lots of fun sounds after a snow

[@lexevo]

Nice work there. Saved yourself a lot of money. How do you tell if the suspension is worn or causing noise. I hit a curb pretty bad. To my shock I couldn’t find any damage. And almost has a loud wind like noise while turning right.

[@kzb2771]

Did you find out the cause? I hit a rock today ans got a weird sound

[@lexevo]

@@kzb2771 yes, so when I put load on the car while turning it made that weird scraping windy sound which was the front right hub bearing. It sounded like the left but sound travels. Also during cold start it made a spooling noise before fully warmed up. I went through hell and 3 Lexus appointments as well as a new performance intake. Before I finally believed this sound is also normal. Just need to warm up the car a bit. I also found a thread where almost all rcF owners had the same noise. Once you hit something, your senses all go up, and you hear things that you never noticed before. I also wrapped every trim and part with electrical tape and insulation. Also runner o rings to put pressure on any panels that rattled. Very quite now.
