Hi guys, wanna ask something, lately my front tyres are making weird noise when i turn right or left more than halfway. if it's just turning left and right at a junction, or changing lanes, it's ok. but when i need to turn more, like when getting out of parking, making u-turn, then the front tyres will start making some weird noise. the noise is similar as to when u rub a wet rubber / balloon against glass. no vibrations were noted, just noise. do u guys have an idea as to what might cause this problem? hmm.gif thanks! notworthy.gif

tires are GY ducaro GA, stock tires for proton saga blm. sorry if this is the wrong place to ask.. sweat.gif

how old is your car? check your steering bush or wheels bearing. if it was the base line blm, sometimes could be caused by the loose wheel cover.

about one year old. and the car is m-line, so using alloy rims.. the weird thing is, the noise is more apparent on a cold morning, or after raining... hmm.gif i guess u're right, maybe it's not the tyres after all... the steering brush seems like a probable answer... thanks smile.gif

for bro Danny,
is this problem occurs only at cement floor area??? if yes then it is normal...

thanks bro, i know that turning on a smooth flat surface will produce similar noise (like in the parking lot at the curve, sunway, etc), but it occurs on normal road too... sad.gif it's ok before this. the problem started about a month ago..

oohh.. maybe that's the cause... cos the turning radius of saga is quite large (i'm comparing with a hyundai getz, cos i only drive these 2 cars), so i always turn the steering wheel at full force until the steering wheel cant turn anymore and can hear a 'knock' sound... like how u would treat the steering wheel of an initial D console, turn the wheel as fast as u could at a corner until u hit the limit of the steering wheel and u hear something knocking against something... anyway, free play is within normal limit i guess. steering's still responsive, and handling is ok. just that the noise is quite worrying.. sweat.gif
