   Hi guys,
   
   I've just had some 15" wolfrace alloys fitted on my 1.1 saxo (mk1 - R reg). It's all great and such until I do a left hand lock. I seem to get a strange noise from the drivers side wheel.
   
   I'll tell you the full story.
   
   My dad runs a citroen garage and originally the tyre was making a noise on a right hand lock so he went under it and tapped it out a bit and voilla, right hand lock is now fine. The problem now occurs when I left hand lock but due to the light it's hard to see what it is catching on, any ideas?
   
   It might just give him a few ideas to look at.
   
   They look nice though! - http://i44.tinypic.com/2qlfs0i.jpg
   
   Cheers guys

   Usual suspect will be arch lining.

   He's sure it's not the arch lining, he thinks it's the "flinching / finching" something like that anyway.
   
   I guess we'll have to take a look in the light

   the archlining would be the most common problem
