Car: Nissan 300ZX 1991 N/A

Post

Hello everyone, I am new to the forums and have a question and hope it gets answered. I own a 1991 300ZX N/A and every time I drive my car I can hear like a grinding or scraping noise in the front. In the beginning it only did it for a while and I thought it was from the bottom of the car, but now every time I drive I can hear it except when I am in a complete stop. I am getting worried and don't know what it is.hopefully you guys have some idea of what it might be.

Welcome to Nico! Have you taken a look under the car, and inside the fender wells to see if something is touching the ground, or touching the tire/wheel?

Going to need better troubleshooting steps than that. Does it reproduce with the car out of gear, just rolling on its own? What have you checked or tried? You've put the front on stands and checked there is nothing obviously rubbing under the car or under the wheel well? Are your splash guards attached correctly? Could be a million things where you're at right now.
