Car help - smell of rubber


death from below

Recommended Posts

My car is starting to smelll of a watery rubber smell. It doesn't do it all the time and the missus reckons it gets worse when she goes around corners(!!!). I've checked the oil but that's about as far as my car knowledge stretches. the temp gauge stays normal and the motor doesn't seem to over heat.

 

Any ideas please.

No seriously, my son had a similar thing lately. He found that the track rod arm I think he said was bent after sliding in the snow up against a pavement. Every time he went round a roundabout /corner etc he could smell rubber because the tyre was just touching the bodywork under the wheel arch.

Just check to see if you can see a scuff mark and bare metal any where. It might be the same.
