Wheels Making Rubbing Noise

[vetha]

I already changed the tyres to 225 40 18s in the front

and I just tried the stockies and put them in the front still making a noise which means it cant be the rims

steering is tight when turning right no problems turning left and the vibrating/noise comes when going straight or turning right

what could it be?? wheel bearings?

at least I got the rims being the problem out of the equation

if its bearings you can usally jack the front end up so the front rims are off the ground and try and wiggle the rim if theres any movement there stuffed, that being said though if theres even just a bit of crap or some metal has grinded in the bearing it will be noisey, best bet take it to a mechanic you trust let him hear it, it wont cost you anything and ill know

yea that's the problem finding someone you can trust is not easy

im guessing now its either wheel bearings or steering rack

[vetha]

can I just ask... could it be the power steering pump? cause it does get louder as the car gets faster

(the noise kinda like a rattling, whining rubbing noise hard to describe)

cause I was thinkin if its the power steering pump struggling to work then that's y its getting louder the faster u go

I dont know does that sound right?

mate I think the kind people on here have given you about all the help they can without seeing it, it doesnt sound healthy so I would take it to a site sponsor or decent mechanic and have it looked at asap
