I've had a rumbling noise when turning right at in town speed. its from the rear nearside and I've been told from the garage that it isn't a wheel bearing, it goes away when applying brakes, it sounds similar to a tyre rubbing but it's not that either. Any ideas?
Thanks guys

Re: Rumbling when turning right
I've had this too since putting some part-worns on. Do you have decent tyres on?
C6 RS6 Avant 2009 | Stock turbos | Wagner ICs | BMC filters | Secondary cats removed
Currently an unknown stage 1 map, making 658 bhp 805 NM on a hot day on Tesco 99, laggy but no boost leaks
Will not go to stage 2 confirmed by MRC because turbos already at 9x% duty, a mystery - engine out to diagnose
Runs fine for now, done 10k miles in it in 10 months, perhaps in the next couple of years will refurb turbos etc.
1000 bhp not viable because gearbox upgrade alone is £9k

Re: Rumbling when turning right
If the noise goes when you apply the brakes it suggests that it's hub-related. Worn bearing, loose drive shaft bolt or duff CV joint, something like that.
Mind you, one time I thought I had a duff bearing it check out ok and I eventually 'traced' it to the inner CV joint. After replacing the joint I discovered that the noise was down to a nail in the tyre.

Found out to be slightly loose wheel bolts ! The garage hadn't tightened them up properly
