A bent rotor can make a rubbing sound. Warped rotors can be caused by hot rotors getting water splashed on them among other things. A brake specialist could tell. will continuing to drive cause any other problems?
Worn bearings, loose rotor, warped brake rotor, sticking brakes.
A wheel bearing could be going bad in a 2002 Ford Focus if a grinding or rubbing sound is heard. A trip to a mechanic is advised as a bad wheel bearing that's not fixed can lead to damaged brakes.
This can be a defective left front wheel bearing. Can also be the tire is rubbing against the fender liner. Loose wheel will also cause this. Inspect everything.
There are several things that could be causing this noise to come from your front wheel well. You could have a faulty wheel bearing, a brake could be dragging, or a hub is rubbing.
Assuming this vehicle is front wheel drive, you probably have a bad passenger side half shaft.
Probably worn out brakes. Could be wheel bearing or other worn components also. Check for looseness before you drive any further.
metal rubbing against the tire
Sounds like a worn CV joint
what would cause a rubbing noise on drivers side front wheel especially when braking ( I replaced rotor and wheel bearings are good) ?
Jack that side of the car up and see if the wheel is loose - it may be a failing wheel bearing.
The passenger side front tire may be rubbing on the inner fender.
Either you tire is rubbing or if its a front wheel drive it could be you "CV" axle's... Other than that i don't know i hope that helps?
