rubbing noise help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ok so every time i reach 15mph or higher there is a rubbing noise comming from the front left wheel area i have stock sized wheels and i have checked (by having my wife drive while i walk next to it) to see if the tire is rubbing anything and its not i have ruled out any engine problems by revving up (while holding brakes) in all gears and i hear nothing i removed the tire/wheel yesterday and sprayed brake cleaner over everything and this did not fix the problem [&o]just ordered new v-rated tires just to see if the tire is bad and had a small lump or something in it there is no loss in braking or performance and the noise and vibrations make me feel like its the tire what do you guys think? also it does not happen while turning due to the low speeds on base i am turning at speeds less than 15mph help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thanks

RE: rubbing noise help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It is only while turning?
Is it a metallic sound like a warped rotor?
Try jacking up the front of the car, putting it in neutral and spinning the wheel manually to isolate the noise. If you can get the entire front end off the ground, you can turn the wheels left and right to find the point at which it begins to rub.
You say you have stock sized wheels meaning everything is the same (backspacing, diameter and width) as stock?
Look in the fenderwell for evidence of tire rubbing.
Good luck.

i said that it does not make the sound while turning
Is it a constant rubbing at 15mph or is it intermittent?
