Had this strange noise coming from front wheels at low speeds. It sounds like something is rubbing or getting into way. It happens regardless whether on slope or flat surface but only at low speeds...i will try to get video of it...anyone else had this?

Hi, not sure if can help without hearing real noise, but I was suffering similar issue in Superb II, finally it turned out that it was bearing. My case was at milage 200k km.  I was driving diesel so this noise was "covered" by engine noise on highways, but noticable during driving with lower speeds. Of course I assume you have checked your brake pads .

How many km does your car have on it? Could be suspension bushings (rubber parts) creaking? Video would be helpful.

Sorry guys busy week, not even started the car whole week so not had a chance to do video...it's definitely not bearing as this only happen at low car park speeds, car has 16k miles on it. Its more like sweeping/rubbing sound from front wheels, not really creaking or knocking...sorry i know its a long shot without video but I'll do it over weekend

Ok guys here is the video, this was done on flat surface 

Really strange, frequency is much bigger than wheel rotation , for me driveshaft or power steering. It only happens with a turn doesn't it ?

Correct, i thought that it was related to slopes but no on flat ground is just same, but only at sort of walking speed, if i go quicker it disappears.... But its been like this since i had it from new

So now I suggest to check if it is related to turning direction or side. If not I would suspect something in power steering or in steering system, if yes, more probable that it is somethng in driveshaft. Surly it is not something to ignore, definetly something is wrong. My personal feeling is that it is something related to driveshatft, because it seems to happen when this driveshaft is loaded significantly...

Driveshaft CV outer Boot rubbing against itself?

Try applying some lubricant on it and see if it goes.

That would be my guess too. Sounds rubbery (silicone spray is the go there). If it's not that then it could be the CV joint itself.

Hi all and thank you for your reply, i have finally sorted this long ongoing issue that was bugging me...simple spray of silicone lubricant has cured it nicely based on your recommendations so massive thank you😎
