Weird Grinding/Rubbing Noise

[InjenTalon96]

ok if i keep my wheel strait everything is cool, its untill ill take a left turn or is i just turn it a little bit, but if i turn it to the right theres no noise, i thought maybe there was sumthing rubbing my rim but that turned out to be wrong, i cant find out what the noise is, ive had it on a lift and turned the tired but i dont here the noise then....now say if i turn the wheel a little bit left it will be a whobble grind noise....like ch..ch..ch..ch..ch..ch. then if i turn it more it will just be a continious noise....what could it be???

Right front wheel bearing or CV joint.

no cv joint....i know its not that they are all new....but i i already know my bearing are shot, but this noise i think mite be coming from the brakes...i duno

One reason why brakes can rub when the car is turning a particular direction is because the wheel bearing is shot.

Driving around with bad wheel bearings is akin to having wild, unprotected sex. Fun, noisy, and really unintelligent.

well thats a good way to put it, so this is a dumb question in all but what would happen if i keep driving this like that...

The odds of you losing control of the car and killing someone is greatly increased when you have a bad wheel bearing. It can seize or break.

First check that all your lugnuts are still there and tight.... if that's good....then, what he said.

Let us know what you find. I'm curious.

Ditto, I had a similar noise - turned out the lugnuts on my wheel were noise. :thumbdown:

im actually having the same problem with my car, where if i turn it right theres no noise, but if its left, i get a rubbing noise too.. so i guess i will go out now and inspect ..

do you have lowering springs?


my lowering springs rub with the cv boot when i make turns

 

[EclpzLvr97]

What springs do you have, Danny?

You haven't put your mods in your profile.

 

[InjenTalon96]

ok well i still cant find it, i think it mite be something rubbing in my brakes, it sounds like when the brakes are low and the clip hits....but its not the clip, any suggestions

 

[jtmcinder]

Did you check the wheel bearings?

Any way to check other than the grab at 12 & 6 o'clock and check for movement?
