    Chirping / grinding from drivers side front wheel

    I've only noticed it a couple of times and the noise isn't constant. Any ideas? Wheel bearing maybe? Drivers side axle?

    If it was your bearing you would hear a slight humming sound constantly while driving. Im thinking axel.

    Not how fast your car goes but how good u drive going fast.

    I used to have a problem with a humming sound when I would make left turns, problem came from my drivers side front wheel hub. Replacing the hub solved my humming problem.

    You know I had that problem and it turned out that my splash guard had come loose and rubbed the wheel at high speeds.

    Do you also hear it if you turn the steering wheel all the way to one side, just curious, I was in a parking lot the other day, and when I turned in to park, I heard like a grinding/rubbing noise. I thought I was going crazy, so I tested it out later on, and hear the grinding noise whenever I turn my steering wheel all the way to one side, mainly to the right.

    Yeah I get that too. I've noticed the grinding pretty much only when I brake though.

    I thought something with the axel, they never really fixed my car right after my accident, and most of my damage was around the driver side wheel. But I'm not sure.

    my car did that also, i took my rims off and one or 2 of the lug nuts were so loose they practically fell off of it. So i took the rim off and retourqed the lugs and it was fine after that. not sure if thats your problem but if u have aftermarket rims then you should try it.
