I have a Porsche Cayenne S 06
When I swing in to my driveway making a right I hear what seems to be a brake metal sound like when your pads are too low. Or when you pull a sword out of a scabbard. Shwiiish!
Any idea what that could sound would or could be? Any help would be great.
Thanks, All

 

bushings come to mind control arm maybe upper or lower. When your bushings fails its basically going to be metal againts metal, meaning the bolt has no cushion surrounding it. When you turn into your driving does your tire move up and down? Another thing if your vehicle is fully turned maybe the tie rods are bad. Just some thoughts

 

The sound is not all the time. Just when I come into the driveway on a right turn. Sounds like front driver side. Don't hear anything else at anytime while driving straight or turning left.

 

Then I would start with the controls arms sounds like a bushing to me

 

Or do you think it could possibly be perhaps the brake pads are not secure in the caliper? It kind of sounds like if you were to rub 2 sharpening stones together quickly but only on a right turn. I know the previous owner had a brake job done fairly recently but at a quicky place. He was real cheap. What are your thoughts on that. Thanks

 

I read this on another forum and what they are describing as to the sound and when you hear it kinda sounds like the sound im having. Please read.

Rubbing (swish-swish) sound from right rear corner after brake-pads and rotors
The wife's 2002 TC will be going to upstate NY for the summer (sounds like a nice vac from tex heat to me) and since I won't have access to it for a while, I figured I would do the rear brakes. Pretty much uneventful - but Im getting a little rubbing sound (sounds like a brake rotor on a lathe) that did not exist before. Its especially noticeable when the wheel is turned slightly to the right and its coming from the right rear rotor. If you kind take the wheel slightly left off center and then go back to the right, its much more noticeable than the opposite maneuver.

I removed the wheel and checked installation, all is correct. The rotor is really loose and is floating on the hub a lot more than the original did (which was snug but did not require a hammer for removal). I noticed it only had one (which I compromised pretty significantly), of the lugnut stud star retainers that keep the rotor from moving around to much. If I add these will I be able to eliminate this problem?

I plan on taking the car to a local service shop early this week and have them do a brake fluid flush. I figure they will verify I reassembled things as intended and there is nothing abnormal.

Response.....
Over the years I've had that happen to a couple of my cars, and each time it has been a tire, or more correctly, a belt under the tread of a tire, in failure mode.
