iv got a P reg 1.4 sport and when i turn tight right corners over a certain degree of lock there is a weird sound, it seems like its coming from the front wing of the car. the only way i can describe the noise is that it sounds like a pneumatic drill, very similar in fact. the type of drill thats used to crack concrete. any ideas?? cheers

Could be lots of things but sounds like a suspension problem, maybe one of the front dampers is rubbing against the tyres. I had the same problem with the rear..hydraulic fluid leaking everywhere. Just take it to a garage and they'll find the problem.

Not necessarily. Just your description saying it was sounding like a 'pneumatic drill' sounds exactly like the way of suspension was. I had the same problem like I said...when turning..

Could be that the tracking has gone off.

Driveshafts, if it makes the noise on full lock its the CV joints.

CV joints would be my guess too, do you hear it at all speeds?

£20 a side at their most expensive m8 not hard to do at all either so a bit of a brucy bonus!

i had a similar thing on my car but it was more of a mettalic rasp but could be same sort of thing as the noise u describe. i only happened sometimes and when i went round right hand bends only, turned out to be the exhaust moving and banging on something, just moved it slighlty and tightened it all up and seems fine now touch wood!
