    Default shudder from left rear wheel

    hi guys, when i turn left hard i get a real bad shudder/rubbing/grinding noise from the left rear wheel but when i turn right hard i don't :S any1 know what might be wrong? could it be a fcuked diff? its in a VP V6 executive, non-irs. if it is the centre i have to replace, how much is a LSD?

    when you get a chance jack up the left rear and have a look to see if theres rub marks
    if there is id say your panhard rod bushed are shaged or you have a bent axel
    Stato on the inside, berlina on the out side,5ltr under the bonnet,stockies all round...........that thing has to be a sleeper

    dont think its a bent axle. the car is sitting on super lows so it may well be the panhard rod. ill have a look tho. thanx

    you probably need an adjustable panhard rod to re-centre the diff. My LHR wheel used to rub when turning corners if anyone was in the back seat and now ive got an adjustable panhard rod it doesnt.

    try what J-D has suggested,also looking at all the rear end bushes,i'm just wondering if it's a wheel bearing (just about to go)when you turn and put the weight on that side?

    my vn did the exact same thing. with me it turned out the shock absorber it'self was rattered. as a result, i replaced shockies front and back, all was good there.

    look for rub marks, and look for peices of shiney clean metal, if it's clean then soemthing use to be sitting there and chances are it should be there. i.e
    lower radius arm bushes. if they fall out, you see a peice of clean metal.
