tech problem - noise on right turn

mro2 · 09-10-2011, 07:02 AM

Hey there,

not sure if this is the right tech area, but that's already the problem:

I've got a problem with noise when steering right, the more I steer right the louder the noise, the faster I go, the faster the noise. The noise is only present when steering right and seems to be coming from the front left.

I've made a video on the parking lot, listen to the 4 fizzling/hissing/clicking sounds, one each second...
Nissan 370Z noise on turn - YouTube

I've been to two dealers, no one was able to find anything obvious.
When the car is lifted, therefore no weight on the wheels/suspension, there is nothing to be heard.

Anyone got an idea?

Who pays for the diagnosis which seems to take lots of time for such let's say subtle problems? (It's a new car with about 1500 miles)

Do you have any suspension mods or aftermarket wheels and tires? That sounds odd. Almost like a rubbing of the inner liner.

Can't make much from the video. Are you talking about the rumbling that sounds like wind noise (assuming it isn't wind noise)?

My Z makes a slight noticeable grinding noise on sharp low speed right or left turns. Like you, nothing obvious shows up on inspections.

Nope, it's the original 19" version.

The first sound is at exactly 0:01, then shortly before 0:02 etc. -- ignore the underground and the wind

You're probably right I'll need to record something clearer. Believe me once you hear it you won't unhear it...

Try to do it on smoother pavement, all I could here was road noise.
