I am experiencing a scuffing sound from the rear on sharp slow left hand turns.
I have checked the wheel spindle and adjusters and all seems fine.
Any ideas out there?

Belt on the sprocket due to flexion in the chassis or drive train maybe

There is a small mark on the tyre as if the belt has rubbed a liitle

I think it may be tryre deformation. I fitted a standard profile bridgestone.
Gonna pump it up a little and see waht happens

Matty, I forget what year your car is. Check and see what color the hub is. If its silver its the old one and you may need to swap it out for the new one. I have a 2012 and had that problem. I replaced hub with the new BLACK hub which has slightly different dimensions and belt rubbing on tire is no longer a problem
