Default Wheel noise during turn (not wheel hop)

Hi all,

I have a C7 Z51 with mag ride 5.5k miles. I noticed a noise during a hard left turn in the parking structure. It sounds like a sticker or a zip tie being tightened per revolution of the wheel. Further, the noise accelerates as I do during the left turn. The noise disappears when the tires are straight and does not happen upon a hard right turn. I am going to have this checked out this week, but any thoughts in the issue. Thank you in advance.

Sounds like your tire is rubbing on something, zipper noise as the tread passes the object, take a peak inside your wheel well and see if something looks like it's getting rubbed on, you make just have a stick or something jammed in something, may have to take a rim off and figure out what it is.

CTS-V's had/have this same noise. GM tried multiple fixes;

Higher torque on wheel lug nuts, different lug nuts, cleaning the interface between the wheels and hubs. No help. They click.

Default others?

With no others reporting this issue on same model Z51's, then it should be fixable.

I ended up taking her to the dealer. Eventually GM replaced my right wheel and rotor. Hope this helps.
