2025 Subaru Outback Limited XT (stock everything)
My car has for a while made what I thought was a grinding noise when taking right turns at a tighter and higher rate of speed than I admittedly probably should go. A mechanic friend of mine who hasn’t laid eyes on anything was able to determine based on my description that my front right tire is probably rubbing on the inside of the wheel well when I’m making turns. So after a 35 minute high speed drive, I took a tight fast right turn and decided to check. The black stuff on my fingers is hot rubber from the visible rub spot.
He thinks I’m just driving the car harder than the suspension can handle. I am concerned I’ve damaged something in the suspension but my brother who also has an (2015) Outback says the same thing has happened to him.
A couple of months ago I asked the dealership to do a tire rotation and check just to make sure everything looked ok and they said didn’t see anything wrong and couldn’t replicate the sound. (I did not do a ride along).
Should I be concerned?
This will absolutely make me change my driving habits as I do not want to damage the car.
