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.

Half of what you read is bull and the other half is all <beep>.
