Is anyone else experiencing any odd noises from the front suspension? My front right wheel/suspension makes a noise on left hand turns. It's sound like something is rubbing or creaking. But I do not see any wear marks from rubbing. The only thing aftermarket on the car are the H&R springs.

i got that alot on both of my 3G TLs (with stock suspension AND tein coilovers).. it was a creaking sound (like an old mattress)

It only happened when the air was humid (rain, fog, etc...) .... only heard it once on the 4G so far

This was/is something different.

It only happens to the front right wheel. It only happens when I turn the wheel, like a hard left, u-turn, 3 point turn. It goes from silent, to a metal scraping sound. I also notice it only on big dips on the front right.

I brought it to the mechanic yesterday, he took off the wheel and checked everything. He said everything was tight. He didn't remove the brake dust shield or the pads or anything for fear of voiding the warranty. He also said he didn't hear the noise.

Well I got the car back, and it's not really making the noise. I'm thinking there was a rock or debris stuck somewhere, and when they were checking around it fell out without notice.

So I'm not sure at this point, haha.

My TL-S (196,000 mi.) started doing it about 9 mos. ago and I was told the bushings had dried out. At that time it was only on cold mornings and it was just a suspension creak. Now it happens whenever I turn the wheel at slow speeds and it is REALLY LOUD. It goes to the shop in two days. Until then people will continue looking at me from across the parking lot. I will report what they find.
