Hello,

 

My car is making a strange noise. It seems to do it most on T3 at Summit Point. The car is bouncing and I think I'm hitting the bump stops and rubbing the fenders. But this was only my second race and I'm not sure what sounds are considered normal. You can hear the noise at about 4:12-4:14 in the video.

 

Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Right rear tire.  Mine did the same and made the same noise.

Thanks! Do you think rolling the fender will take care of it?

[Glenn Davis]

Rolling worked for me.

Go to 10:15 and see if this rings a bell...

Bingo! Thanks again for your help.

Yep 100% that's a tire rub sound....if you look at the sidewall of the tire you'll probably see some marks, and also on the fender there will be some rubber.

 

Welcome to MARRS! If you need any help at the track I'm there every MARRS weekend with the Meathead camp.

Check for rodents in the trunk.  Sounds like a chipmunk or a rabid squirrel.

Thanks, Todd. I'll keep that in mind. I may need help looking for rodents.
