Suggestion
I will check inside the wheel for scuff markings, also kjames might have something there as well.

I have learned to take it really easy when entering roadways from parking lots where there is a noticeable dip for storm water run-off.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I have noticed on several occassions going in or out any kind of angled driveway that my
tires
briefly rub the inside of the fender well. Just wondering if this is happening to anybody else with 19's. BTW I am going slowly when this happens.
Thanks Russ
Russ, not sure it is what you think it is. Mine also makes a strange noise when slow menouvering on hard lock. It looks (after stopping and getting out and looking) like it is just becase there is so much camber on the wheel when it is on full lock that the tire scrubs along the floor slightly.
I'm pretty sure that is what it is. But you might want to ask someone to watch as you move the car slowely on full lock.

I have what can only be described as an 'extreme' incline driveway. In fact, so much so that until I saw a
boxster
pull up the driveway and inquired as to whether the owner had any issue (none reported), I was not going to buy the
Cayman
. I have not noticed any issue so far (I've been very careful), but I will try to listen closely some more and report back on this topic.
Dan,
It is definately not the bumper hitting the ground. This only happens on an incline or decline going in or out a driveway
with the wheels turned
. I have had several cars in the past that were lowered and I am familiar with the sound. I will monitor it closely and maybe stop and look next time it happens. I didn't think much of it but it has happened 3 times now.
Jack, I am not sure what is 'hard lock' unless that is when the wheels are turned one way as far as they will go?
Thanks Russ
Russ, If you haven't already done so, look under your fron bumper cover just to make sure you don't see any scuff marks, then look inside those wheel wells, again for looking for tell-talesuff marks.
Yes that is what I mean Russ. Basically when the steering is turned full, or near full in one direction. Mine then makes that noise and it is definately the
tires
scrubing the ground, not the arch.

Russ:
Check the inside of your wheel well for evidence of tire rub. I have that problem on my track car when I'm in the paddock having to turn shapely at slow speeds. While it's not a concern given the amount of rub I certainly would have greater difficulty accepting this on a new vehicle.
David
Crazy,
No
PASM
. I just found it strange that a car with this stiff of suspension could rub inside the wheel wells going slow. I thought maybe someone else was noticing it as well. It did it again this morning when I call to work coming down a driveway in the parking garage. I was coming off a a steep slope and turning left at the same time, and it sure sounded and felt like the wheel well.
Russ
Russ, I have had a couple of situations that sound like what you are describing. I have 18 inch wheels and standard suspension. I have assumed that the soundis the front clip coming into contact with the pavement. The front end of this car is pretty low and the
Cayman
front clip extends out pretty far from the front axle. The front clip is designed to divert air from going under the car. I have learned to take it really easy when entering roadways from parking lots where there is a noticeable dip for storm water run-off.
mpollard,
You sure could be right. I cannot find any noticeable scuff marks on the inside of the well. I need to get under the car with a flashligh and take a look. I am now going extra slow in these areas where I have had the problem before.
