Not sure about "normal" - but mine does. Did get it fixed at one time (part of the wheel arch lining was loose), but it came back within weeks.

Now I just live with it as a "feature"

Nope shouldn't do it, unless you fit wider wheels with spacers!!

Snap, offside lining has a lump which catches on full lock- sounds <beep>, but not serious. Gripfill next service at grizzessezzezez.

Mine is the same, Thought it was both sides. it catches at the front of the wheel on the near side and at the rear on the off side. Managed to slip a cable tie around the near side and its gone unless i am on a slant. Thank fook its gone, been doing my head in.
