Strange Noise On My Is 250

[ahmed24]

Yesterday while driving on a dual carriage at around 50mph i noticed a strange noise that sounded like its coming from my driver side front wheel. It sounded a bit like something scraping against the wheel or tyre. In the past I used to have a Toyota Corolla 04 Model which used to have a problem of wheels making that kind of noise when break dust gets stuck in between the pads and the disc.

In the begining it sounded just like the problem I used to get on my corolla. But then when i came to slower road, i opened my window and as I was driving the noise sounded very much like something is stuck on the wheel like a plastic shopping bag or something and it was getting dragged with the wheel or was trapped inside. But the noise wasnt constant it would happen somethings. When i went home i had a look at my wheels (as much i can see in the dark) but it seemed all clear and I couldnt find anything stuck to the wheels. I looked under the car but couldnt see anything.

On my way to work this morning, the noise was still there and it was intermittent and mainly appeared when i was going over rough surfaces and stuff. I dont understand what it could be.

Has anyone else experienced any similar issues with the IS 250? Any comments would be appreciated.

Thanks

Sticking brake pads perhaps?

Can you make the problem come and go by touching the brakes?

Check the wheel arch plastic liner and make sure all the fasteners are in place.
