Okay, weird question.
I have a brand new 2018 Sonic (4740 miles), Premier/LTZ with 1.4T/6MT. It has the dealer installed lowering (the performance one) and the exhaust/turbo tune. Note: this thing is stock and I haven't been beating on it. I live in Reno, hard braking happens every once in a while. That being said, no track days, no autoX, no street racing, nada.
For almost as long as I've been driving it, I have been hearing a weird scraping noise at low speed, usually in the morning when I leave my driveway. Today I isolated the symptom to a low speed/wheel lock left turn with braking.
I have absolutely no idea what this could be. My rotors look fine but the left front does have a possible score. CV's and wheel bearings should be fine.
Anybody got ideas on a cause? I need to take it for an oil change but I'll be damned if I want to cry 'warranty' for this.
