rubbing noise... help needed
Whenever I turn right I get a rubbing/grinding noise from the wheel that seems to increase/decrease with the speed of the wheel (the drivers-side front wheel). Don't get it during braking but sometimes it persists even after I have completed the turn.
Dealer told me it was tire noise, even after hooking the car to the chassis-ears, but it sure as hell doesn't sound like tire noise to me. I'm worried that I'm grinding something into needing a mucho $$ repair job...
Anyone ever experience this?
thanks

Is it like a sheet metal rubbing sound, tinny? Then, dust shield is bent against rotor.
This happened to me after installing my suspension. After removing the wheel, I found the dust shield had gotten bent into the rotor. A quick push with the hands, and problem fixed! $0. That's rare.
