Grinding Scraping from middle/middle front of car

Post by DionLFC »

So I recently picked up my RX8 and within a short time theres now a major "grinding" or "scraping" sound i guess you could call it from, usually, the middle or middle front of the car sometimes it will travel slightly to the left front or right front anyone know what this might be, Im somewhat conviced it could be something with the clutch as I feel when it does it through the clutch peddal when depressed

anyone dealt with this or something similar?

Does it only happen when the car is moving?

Is the undertray securely fixed?

If screws are missing at the front then air can force the tray down until it rubs on the road.
