Hey Volks, While high speed testing my vanagon today (LOL) I have noticed that on a sharp corner of about 25mph I hear a grinding or dragging sound only during a sharp turn abouve 25mph. brakes can not be applyed to get this sound, it does not matter if I am giving it gas or not. Now I know with my alloy wheels they do not allow the 2 little bolts to hold on the drum allowing a very slight play you can feel it but not really see it. Do all alloy wheels not allow those 2 bolts? Could it just be my drum rubbing my backing plate? Any other places to look?
