Default Rubbing noise from front passenger side while turning left.

Have anyone experienced any rubbing noise from front passenger side while turning left? It does it at low speeds but not when the wheels are straight.

This should not happen unless you put larger rims and tires on the car that are specified or you lowered the car too much by changing springs or adding lowering links to air suspension to the point of rubbing.

If none of this is applies to you, you should have the suspension/alignment checked out which is most likely the reason.

What year? Equipment? Miles on Odo? Original equip tires and wheels? F-sport? AWD? Suspension type? Is it an LS500?
Has anyone looked at it at a shop? Dealer?
Help us help you?

My car is a 2018 LS500 with Adaptive Variable Air Suspension and 20" 10 Spoke Alloy Wheels w Vapor Chrome Finish with 11k miles. I have not taken it to the dealership yet. Not a Fsport.

You didn’t say if you had runflats. I would start off by pulling the right front tire. Check it for any unusual wear. Then switch it with the right rear.

Why turn left when you can make 3 rights instead? No more sound. Problem solved!

I knew a guy who quit making left turns when he turned 85 years old. He would drive all the way around the block just to keep from turning left.

The inside wall of tire

The inside wall of the run flat was cracked which was making the rubbing noise.
