    Another vote for alternator here. Left turn would throw engine over that way too

    Thanks for all the help took tyre of and there is no sign of it catching but have noticed drivers side engine mount is knackerd and a few fresh marks where alternater could hit so I think its a case of new engine mount and see what happens then thanks

    Mazz that noise on your vid and the one the OP posted are completely different!

    The noise in that oridinal vid is definitely tyre scrub. Just the fact its happening on right turns kind of confirms it as inertia would take the alternator further away from the chassis leg

    It just happens he posted a vid of a similar noise but it obviously wasn't the same as what his mate was experiencing

    EDIT Read the description on the OP's original vid
