I'm not sure how to describe this noise, but it's coming from the suspension. During heaving cornering such as taking a freeway onramp fast I hear this odd noise. I don't believe it's the tires fighting for grip because it's a stuttering type of noise instead of a smooth linear screeching. Could it be my tires hitting the fender wells? Or maybe the suspension is fully compressed and starts to bounce a bit due to the tires trying to keep traction?

 

wow dont know maybe you have a bad wheel bearing?

 

It's a rubber or plastic scraping noise. Doesn't sound metallic.

 

Any modifications installed or are you 100% stock???

Not odd, but entertaining I think.

 

Check your deflectors in front of your tires. There are small aerodynamic aids in front of each of the tires held in with plastic pins. I had one of these pins disappear on my IS350 after a car wash and the deflector was hitting the tire and making a noise as you describe.

 

Or

the rear ones too.... they tend to unclip easily from time to time...

 

stock. definitely a plastic rub/scrape noise. I'll check those deflectors.

 

Yeah, I mean all four of them - front and rear - they make a horrible noise when they scrape. AMHIK.
