have a bit of an odd noise that i hear in the front of car near (i think) left front wheel. after starting the car for the first time after its been sitting awhile within about 100 feet ill hear a single 'krrrr' sound. kind of like a quick scraping sound. lasts about 1/2 second and it's not particularily loud. never hear it again. doesnt correlate to the transmission shifting. and, only hear it after car has sat awhile and i start it up again. idears?

It is the ABS system running a test, at about 20Kmph. Happens once per key cycle.

It's only on my GLT , not on my R, unless I don't hear with the IPD exhaust
