Off Camber, Low speed, Right Turn "rub"?

Bogie · 05-05-2008, 02:50 PM

This happened in a parking garage...very low speed (less than 5 mph). The turn points at the end of the garage are slanted away from the direction of travel (off camber). As I make a right hand turn with almost full wheel deflection I hear a very slight "foompf.....foompf.....foompf" in rhythm with each wheel revolution, coming from my left front. My first thought was my tire was going flat, but tire is good.

I had someone check from outside, and there isn't any wheel well rub as I turn wheel. It does not occur on flat turn or on-camber turns.

Any ideas?

Could it have anything to do with it catching since one wheel is rotating more the the other?
I know it gives a huge clunk on occasion when backing up

Sure it was the front wheel?
