Rubbing noises are different for different causes.If the noise is metallic in nature, it might be a brake problem of some sort.

If it is not really metallic, it could be a strut, a rubber bushing, a ball joint or tie rod end.

Does the noise occur more often when you go over a bump? Making a turn? Applying the brakes?

Why does your steering wheel sound when you turn?

If this is for a 1989 Mazda 323 with high miles (kilometers) and the sound is a creaking or rubbing sound, chances are good your front struts are worn out and will need to be replaced. If it is more like a grinding sound, it may either be the steering rack or coupling knuckle (U-joint). I suspect the former, because this happened on my car. Replacing the struts, plus lubricating the spring perches with Silicone grease cured the problem. Cheers Malcolm
