Intermittent Rubbing Noise Left Rear Wheels

Hi All

I've been searching these forum's for ages and have found numerous threads relating to rubbing noises coming from the rear wheel areas but no real firm ideas to exactly what might be causing it.

A few weeks ago, I notice my 2003 boxster s started making occasional rubbing noises, particularly when turning right. It’s slowly getting loader and more regular but seems to relate to the rate at which the wheel is turning and happens in or out of gear. Breaking doesn't seem to make much difference.

I’ve taken it to the dealer and after telling me it was the discs / rotas and pads and after replacing them, the noise was still there. They also adjusted my hand brake / emergency brake.

I returned it to them and following more investigations, they informed me that there was nothing wrong with the car. Obviously, when I took the chief mechanic for a test drive, it didn’t make the noise but typically it started making the noise on the way home. I’m not imagining it though!

I can sometimes induce the noise by turning v hard to the right.

Anyone got any fresh ideas?
