Turning Right - Rubbing and becomes hard to steer

My RRS has recently developed a problem, when turning right (only) especially on roundabouts I feel something rubbing and the car becomes hard to steer, as if the wheel is dragging on something. It only happens when going around roundabouts and isn't noticeable at very low speed. I was wondering if my 22' wheels might be too big, but many others have them and i doubt this is a normal thing. Any thoughts on what this might be? Thanks in advance

easy way to find out, take the wheel off and look for rub marks.
also you mention 22' wheels but what size are your tyres

Obviously fouling something if you can hear rubbing

How long have the 22's been on? like Shepp aslked, are you running the correct rubber? RRS gone

Check drop links, wheel bearing and ARB mate

The tyres are 285, 35r 22 106w's

Its only recently been happening, the wheels have been on the car since I bought it 2 months ago and Ive had no trouble up until this week.

Excuse my ignorance, but how do I check drop links, wheel bearing and ARB?

Thanks again

do you know which wheel ist coming from ?

Idealy you wanna jack up the car and check for any play on the wheels, if you fining its significant then id get it into a garage sooner rather than later.

First things id do is check your wheels bolts are tight mate

It 'feels' like its the driver side front wheel, though I cant be certain its not the passenger side wheel. I've checked the nuts and they seem to be on as tight as possible and the air is fine in both. Ill get it jacked up tonight at the local garage and see if there is anything untoward going on. Fingers crossed its nothing serious!

I'd check the near side front 1st... if the noise is greater when on roundabouts.. greater loading on the front left, maybe bearing on the way out? RRS gone

I had something similar, sometimes steering would stiffen up to the right.

New steering rack as it was disintigrating, a fliud change fixed it for a day until more debris in the fluid.
