I get this rubbing sound like if the wheel is rubbing against plastic or if something is draging. When I make side to side turns I can hear it. Just sounds like my wheel is about to fall off. When I come to a complete stop sounds like my control arm bushings are just shot and make a low pitch noise just sounding like everything is about to break off. I checked my cv boot, its fine, I think something is bent, or my wheel bearing is totally toasted. Can someone give me some info here. I dont know how im going to take my car to school now. I dont feel safe traveling such a long distance and back.

 

When i hit the brakes to come to a complete stop a bit hard i hear just this noise like the same noise you hear when you turn your wheel and you hear your powersteering making a click noise and your engine rpm goes up a bit and with the wheel noise happens when im doing 10mph or less, make turns from side to side and going slow, makes a rubbing against somthing noise or im draggin something, its not a constant noise its more of a grind grind silence then grind grind then silence.

 

bump.. anyone...

 

sounds like strut bearings gone bad. jack the car up, grab the wheel and slowly turn it. if you can feel a gritty vibration thru the wheel, most likely it's caused by bad strut bearings. if you have a friend with you, have him to feel the spring while you turn the wheel, vibration = bearings. while it's up rock the wheel from top to bottom slightly, looking for looseness in wheel bearings. there should be no play in the wheel bearing.

 

sounds like either brakes or a wheel bearing. thats the noise my wheel bearing made when it went.

 

It doesnt happen when I turn the wheel side to side while not moving only at low speeds. Im guessing its the wheel bearing. My steering wheel is still centered, guessing if I had a bent control arm I would feel/see a difference on the road and the position of my steering wheel. Brakes Still have life on them but need replacing sometime around 2-3 months.

 

I have the same problem except mine sounds like somethings bumping against the inner fender well. Guess its the bearing
