When I make right turns, my front left wheel obviously turns inwards and it makes a loud rubbing noise and it is louder the faster I go. Someone told me that it might be my wheel bearing or tierod but I have no clue. It goes away when I turn left and isn't that bad when I'm going straight. Let me know

Bearing you should here if you jack up the wheel and spin it with hands (listen to the hub). Also check for wheel play.

CV joint - is more like click-click-click sound.

It's the wheel bearing on your driver side.

just out of curiosity.. have you tried checking for the obvious and cheap? I would check your tire for unusual wear or cuts. Also, I would cut the wheel all the way over to that side and slowly roll the car to see if you can hear the noise and pinpoint it a lot better.

It could be as simple as a piece of loose underbody plastic hitting the wheel up to a bad wheel bearing. It is always better to start with the cheap and easy fixes first though before jumping into the hard to do and expensive stuff.

I had the same problem. So before I took it to the shop, I had a look. Problem solved...Once I pulled the rest of that cat I ran over out of my wheel well. wink1.gif
