I just bought a new speed3 three weeks ago. I do not drive it everyday although its hard not to being so fun to drive. Recently I have an odd rubbing like noise (almost like bad powersteering type noise) coming from the passenger front. Although it happens so rarely it is pretty loud and i can feel slight vibration in steering. I took my mechanic buddy for a spin and it ride like a charm. So I know when I take it to the dealer it is going to be hard to reproduce this troubling sound and will probably be a fight with them. I will be taken it there soon anyways. I want to drive it more to make it easier to reproduce this noise for the dealer but I am scared to damage it further.

Has anyone else experience this same issue, or does anyone have any helpful advice, I would appreciate it.

Thank you.

 

I would pull the brake caliper slide pins,clean and lube them. Water gets by the boots and they take alot of heat. Could be they are starting to stick a little.
