Wierd rubbing sound? - Team-2G Mitsubishi Forum

Ok, just a minute ago I was pulling out from a stop sign and cutting the wheel right heard this rubbing noise like a wheel hop sound, almost like the tire was rubbing the fender well BUT this car is all stock. I'm about to go in a parking lot and just go slow cutting the wheel deep and shit to try and see if it does it again, does anyone know the problem?

Possibly wheel bearings is what you are hearing. May not be properly lubricated.....the bearings I'm talking about :lol:

Possibly the caliper is slightly loose and rubbing at an angle? Thats a far guess though.

its only done it that one time, and ive been listening closely to see if it happens again

A clicking sound heard when turning indicated the hub bearings are bad. Only way to fix this is to replace the axle. However, If was that the sound would normally be heard on a regular basis. Might be just starting to go out. Check your CV boots to ensure they are not ripped. Could also be motor mounts, rubbing inner fender well with tire. So check it out before you spend your dimes.

Definetly sounds like bearings to me, I also had a brake problem that caused a sound similar to yours. Just a thought.
