your tires could be to wide or to tall, or your suspension could be low or shot. :)
A broken car =]
A bad tire weight can cause a rubbing noise on full left lock on your Honda Civic 1997. A bubble on the tire can also cause this.
Wheel bearing
Chances are that your right inner wheel well is rubbing against the tire like it did with my daughters Tribute. Did you have a slight fender bender on your left front bumper? The fenders are plastic and will pop back out and will thereby "fix" your rubbing noise. Check both wheel wells, as well.
Have that tire checked sometimes the belts inside can break and cause a thumping noise
An expert would have to hear the noise. Some possibilities are dry top bearing of the shocks, horn ring loose in steering wheel, tire rubbing on frame - -
Try getting a wheel alignment; & checking if ur fender is loose and rubbing the tire its happening to me but never had the time to fix it.
Wheel bearing?
2 common causes for fwd front left wheel to make groaning noises. First it may be worn disc pads rubbing on the disc; thin disc etc Or more likely one or both axle bearings are lacking lubricant and starting to collapse
Bad brake pads (wear indicator rubbing rotor), brake pads not retracting and rubbing rotor, or bad wheel bearings. You need to have this looked at before possible great damage is done.
A grinding noise in the wheel will either be caused by worn brake pads, or a defective wheel bearing. Remove the left front wheel and inspect brake pads. If the brake pads are OK, you will need to remove the caliber and inspect the wheel bearing.
97 grand am rubbing/grinding noise from right front that is not wheelbearing or brakes
