Default Screeching sound when turning right

XK8 (1999 with with 45,000 miles) squeaks and/or makes a harsh rubbing sound when turning to the right. This happens regardless of the speed and is apparently caused when the entire car slightly tilts to the left during making a right-hand turn. What repairs are needed? Thank you so much.

First check to see if there is a small stone between the disc and back plate,this as appended to me a few times the way you describe it sounds just the same,worthwhile just to do a quick check 😊

Lets check a few things to sort out the problem.
1. Park on a level spot. Measure the distance from the enter of the wheel to the fender lip. Good is 15.75 inches or close is good enough. If it is below that number significantly remove the dome on the top of the shock and visually check that the shock bolt is centered and the shock mount isn't crumbling.
2. Raise the vehicle so that the front wheels are clear of the ground. Grip them at the top and bottom and try to rock them. Do they move?
3. Visually inspect the interior of the wheel arch liners for any sign rubbing.

Get back to us with the inspections and we can move on from there.
