I noticed yesterday that my tire on the driver's side has rubbed a flat spot on the rubber brake hose. I bent the metal tubing so that it doesn't rub any more, but should this be of great concern? Obviously I'd hate for it to rupture, but it looks as though it's not too bad.

I recently got a set of staggered IS 350 wheels, and while I realize it's not ideal , my father wants to know if they will fit his 2012 ES350 ? The front tires I'm having put on are 225 / 45 / 18, but the tears are still good and are 255 / 40 / 18. Will the 255 fit in the back without rubbing issues.
So, I just went ahead and put the wheel on. The stats are 18x8.5, +45 offset, and 255/40/18.
Initially the tire rubbed while driving, the wheel was able to rotate, but not without the rotating rub noise against the strut. So then I put on a 5mm spacer I had and it was perfect.
Golf IV R32 :: Passenger Side Front Tire Is Rubbing On Inside Well
Just put on new wheels 19x8.5 all around on 235/35/19s. Figured to have no issues, not super low or anything. Passenger side front tire is rubbing on the inside well pretty good. Not on fenders as far as I can tell, just the actual inside of the wheel well. Fender liner is already out on that side as well. Not a thing on drivers side though, and the liner is still in. Thinking maybe just need an alignment.

My wife has a 2010 Santa Fe with AWD and 40,000 miles on it, and my daughter has a 2008 AWD with 38,000. I don’t drive my wife’s car much but after taking it on a trip I noticed that the front wheels/tires seemed louder than normal, exactly like a bad wheel bearing or when you are running snow tires. I had the tires balanced and inspected and took the car to the dealer sure that there was a front wheel bearing going out but they said it was fine. A week later I was driving my daughter’s 2008, same noise. Tires on both cars are fairly new and don’t appear to have any problems. So, is this common to these cars and considered normal?

I have a 2012 Santa Fe that I took in today for the first 3,000 mile oil change. Everyone that rides with me say they hear a popping noise coming from the front passenger tire? I asked them to check it out at the dealership and they say all is fine. Some one said sounded like the strut top plates were loose.

When I'm driving low speeds...say under 40. there is a random but frequent rubbing sound coming from the front passenger tire. Previous my driver side coil over blew out and it was replaced by VW and they raised the car. After about a week i noticed the sound. The car also shakes between 55 and 65...so i'm assuming it's a balancing issue. But can't figure out what the rubbing is....ball bearing maybe?
View 5 RepliesHonda - Cr-v :: 1999 - Front Driver Side Tire Rubbing Up Against Car When Turn Wheel From Left To Right
I took my car in the other day for 4 new tires at 8am I drive home 2 miles from the place. I work nights so I sleep all day. As I was going to work at 11pm I noticed it sounded like the front drivers side tire was rubbing up against the car when I turn the wheel from left to right. I took it back to the place I got the tires from. I thought something might be adjusted wrong or something. They call me to tell me that the tires are fine and the problem is that I need a new power steering pump. There was no noise or steering problem previous to me getting the tires.
I took it to pep boys (the only place open last night). They say the pump needs to be replaced along with racks and pinions..etc. I ask if the leak can be slowed or stopped with one of those stop leak products and they say no. The fluid just drains right out. Is there something the guy that put my tires on could have messed up to cause this problem?
I spent a lot for the tires and within 5-10 miles later this problem starts. The car has over 250000 miles on it and I cant justify spending that much money to repair it but at the same time Im in a bind financially (medical bills, divorce) to get another car right now. I realize even if they did mess it up when they put the tires on, they wont admit to it anyway.
Santa Fe (CM - 2007-12) :: Clunk Noise From Front Left Tire Area
I got a few clunk noise from front left tire area. I think it happens when I turn my steering wheel to left almost max.
And then, turning back to straight(to right). then, "Clunk"!
Today I got the clunk when I made U-turn on a street. A month ago, I heard it when I parked with fully turned front tires.
Golf/GTI VI :: 2011 - Tire Rubbing Noise When First Rolling?
I have an 11 GTI, got it about a month ago new. I noticed ever since I first drove it, when the tires are cold, and I maneuver in slow speeds, I hear a sort of rubbing noise over pavement. It almost sounds like when you drive a car slowly on an inside floor, like on a dealer's showroom - is it normal for them to do this? PSI is at the recommended levels, nothing seems to be rubbing. I think when the tires warm up the noise goes away, and especially at higher speeds it is not there.
View 4 RepliesGolf IV R32 :: Noise From Rear Diff Like Something Rubbing Or Tire Skidding
Fixed my AWD. Needed a new Haldex pump. Did a fluid change and new Haldex filter. All using factory stuff.
AWD works great now. The problem though is when im making tight slow speed turns. I.E. backing out of a parking stall. I get a noise from the rear diff like something rubbing, or a tire skidding.
Is this normal? I bought my car from the dealership without my AWD working and just got it fixed, so I really didn't know what an AWD R32 was like.
Civic - Honda :: 2003 - Rubbing Noise Coming From Rear Right Tire
I have a 2003 Honda Civic coupe that is making a interesting noise. When making a hard left turn with some speed, an intermittant rubbing noise is coming from the rear right tire and wheel. I cannot duplicate that noise turng right at any speed.
One more fact, the right rear and left front tires lose 5-10 psi of air a week. They were filled yesterday, so they should be around 30 psi still (door sticker recommendation). New tires put on last summer by previous owner- not sure if they were losing air at that rate before the new treads or not.
I plan on buying a used wheels to replace current ones to hopefully remedy the losing air situation!
Mercury - Mountaineer :: Rubbing Noise From Rear Left Tire Area
So I have an 06 mercury mountaineer it was making a rubbing noise from the rear left tire area so I replaced the bearing took the merc for a test drive and as soon as I applied pressure to the accelerator the TCS kicked off all power and it left like the brakes on the front left engaged (accompanied by some nasty grinding noises). I have taken it apart replaced the hub assembly and the cv axle, nothing looks to be out of place and everything is clean I cant think of anything else it could be..
View 5 RepliesLexus GS 2006-11 :: Rubbing Noise Front The Front Of The Vehicle
I am on my 4th lexus; GS2010 (I currently own). I was driving off (very slow speed) from the dealership I noticed a rubbing/scrubbing noise front the front of the vehicle. The next day I started the car and backed out of my garage, put on brakes, turned the steering wheel to the far right and pressed slightly on the accelerator and I heard another noise; sounded like CV Joints going bad. So I contacted the dealer and they told me to bring the vehicle over. The noise was heard and they applied grease to something (cant remember what).
The next morning the noise was back; be mindful the noise is intermittent but mostly after the car has sat and never when the brake is applied. So I contacted Lexus and let them know the problem.
Finally I returned to Lexus, by appointment, and test drove with the lead service tech. The tech identified the noise several times during the drive; hard turns recreated the issue. Lexus contacted me and stated that they had welded something and that should ahve fixed the problem.
However the next day same problem; so I contacted Lexus again. When I returned from a business trip I returned the vehicle. On 5/23 I received a call stating that the tech could not duplicate the noise and if I could come and ride (again). So I left work and went. As soon as we got in the car (tech driving), he put the car in drive and made a sharp left turn (click, click, click); and the scrubbing noise got worse. Now instead of scrubbing on left or right hand turn, now its scrubbing going forward. So I asked why couldn't he do that without me. I had left "specific" notes as to when it happens, keep the windows rolled up, of course don't turn on radio and drive normal. So I left the car.
On 5/30 they had the vehicle fixed (yeah right); they adjusted the rear backing plate. Ok so you had my car 1 week, total time about 2+ weeks and the noise was coming from the backing plates ( I said this to myself). As usual the noise came back and I contacted Lexus. I brought the car back in on 6/13/14 and they replaced the right axle. My thoughts, if you are hearing it from both sides why wouldn't you replace both sides (??). Ok took the car home and again before I left the lexus lot, the noise was back. So I called the dealership right away. I did not turn around, I went home to pack for another business trip. Also if i would have turned around I probably would have given them a piece of my mind and that would not have been good for the situation. I was feed up so upon arrival from my business trip I scheduled an appointment with another lexus dealership; same owner but another location.
I take the car in and they call back the following week and say it was the front right caliper and it was replaced; however he stated that he didn't hear the clicking noise. I pick the car up on July 22, and by July 23, I was taking the car back. The rubbing noise they claim came from the tires and they couldn't duplicate the clicking noise. On July 29, they called me in to ride with the tech; be mindful I still have a loaner. They took me to the repair department and my car was on a lift and they dropped it down. The tech asked if I wanted to drive and I told him he could drive. I also pointed at the car that was on the lift directly beside mine and stated that by the time we get to that car you will hear the noise. he heard the noise.
On July 30, they figured out the problem and told me that they had good and bad news. The good news was they found the problem and the bad news is they can't fix it. It is a typical noise for that vehicle and it comes from the brake actuators. So I went to pick my vehicle up on next day and I asked if they bleed/flushed the brakes and he said No; and then I asked him if he replaced the actuators and he said No. So lets recount the events, You have had my car for 2 weeks with specific directions and couldn't duplicate the noise.
I come and ride with the tech and magically the noise is replicated within seconds and magically you know the problem; however you dont give me any explanation and nothing was done to confirm. That let me know they googled and came to this site and by this brake actuator issue being ongoing with no resolution they blame it on it. However the problem is that the noise is not made when braking, its made when the wheel is turned and the accelerator is inclined.
