hey coming home 2nite everythin was fine until i went to take the last turn and it sounded as if the tyre was rubbing against the car and i could feel it in the steering as well, but then i let the car sit there and i could even hear it just in the engine bay as well. the car started rattling a bit sounded really bad like it wasnt warm enough and was idling wrong but at the same time makin this weird a** sound..
really worried just need some help, hopefully everything will be fine in the morning but i wanna know what the hell is going on!!
i driving normally not even accelerating fast or going into the corners fast, i was driving slow if anything! and sorry by the way its an EB sedan

cheers

nah it wasnt chugging along, i'll check for things that have come off.. two things i forgot to mention tho was that i put in new slotted rotors about 3 weeks ago but the guy who put them in seem a little bit dodgy and the other thing was when i got out of the car it wreaked of burning rubber or it couldve been the smell that comes off your brakes when you've been braking heavily which i mentioned i definately wasnt doing!

check behind your disks he may have put in too much grease and its come on to the disk, burning smell.
noises, check all fluids, power steering may have s**t it self.
lift up the car and spin each wheel, he may have tightened the front too much and bearing has carked it.

lucky that's all it was, a rack or a pump would have set you back alot more.
