sounds like the alternator hitting, but its the wrong side , cv joint maybe?

i bet the front gear box mount has moved loosen and push the engine to the drivers side and then retighten the bolt

[BRoadGhost]

Heh, CVs don't make a noise before failing they just do it in my experience. It does sound like the alternator hitting on the chassis from where the noise is coming from and the type of noise is metal on metal.

That is 100% tyre scrub

The noise at 37 secs doesn't sound like tyre noise to me? sounds like the alternator hitting the chassis leg. Post a vid of your mates noise?

[MARTIN KELSON]

That also sounds like tyres catching arches to me

[John]

Is there any evidence a, the osf tyre catching? b, the alternator fouling?

Its definitely big time tyre scrub John. Been there many times. This guy in the vid will be absolutely destroying his!
