Noise from wheel well (front driver side)

[aron_ft]

03 MSP and 115xxx on her. i have replaced the cv axles, brakes, and rotors, thats about all in the wheel well. well anyways first started as a small small barely noticable (if i wasnt so picky, probably wouldnt have heard it) squeek in a right hand turn, 15-40mph roughly. well it is now when i back up, and turn the wheel right, it has a screetch/ creeking sound. almost like if you had a flat tire and drove on it. like the rubber was making the noise. well im running 32 psi and always have. Now the noise is when im, going straight or turn right, not to the left as i havent noticed yet, atleastif it does, then its faint. a creek/squeek almost i say creek because its not a high pitch sound like how it started out. no bad vibrations. nothing i havent always delt with. i took the wheel off and spun it around to see if it had any play or grinding in the bearing, nothing noticable. took the brake caliper off and wiped the rotor down. cv axle boot it ok and i dont know where to go from here. any ideas or help is greatly appreciated.

sound like you have a possible bad wheel bearing. may wanna check those out and see if they need to be replace. I personally change them both if one is bad just because i always think if one side went bad then it's a matter of time before the other side craps out. Just a thought.

actually I feel dumb now, after I snapped the LSD the wheel bearings on both sides where replaced. could this be the cv axle? it does do it turning left also just not as bad. but its progressively getting worse

cv axles only have probably 15k miles on them though. im so lost.

Could be a bad wheel bearing even if they were replaced, aftermarket bearings typically don't last. You likely can't feel any play from a wheel bearing by hand unless it's completely trashed, but once the car is on the ground and there is load on the bearing it will have play and make noise.

also if the bearing wasn't pressed in correctly it would wear out pretty fast as well. i've done my own wheel bearings and i use aftermarket ones and the seem to last fine for me. gotta get them in just right tho.

I had a rear wheel bearing replaced as part of an insurance accident claim and the "master pro" Chinese rear wheel bearing they used failed in 2 days.
