   i get this rubbing noise when doing full lock. i no defo its not my alloys touching the arches.
   
   when i do full lock left and drive over 10 to 15mph its ok, but when i do full lock right i get this rubbing noise. left full lock is ok, just the right full lock
   
   any ideas what it could be.
   
   could it be drive shaft or wheel bearing. i no defo it aint the rims touching the arch as i dont get the noise when doing a full left lock
   
   cheers guys

   Srry but what do you mean by water cooling tank on the drivers side?as theres only the washer bottle that side back on track though it could be the power steering pipe rubbing.
