This is normally a stone in the tread. Hope that's it. :wink:

Large thin metal backplate behind disks. Pull bottom back edge away from wheel. Can catch if it has been knocked. If it only happens on full lock could be cv joint.

Thanks to all who replied,on taking both front tyres off we found the passenger side back plate was the culprit.
