I have a 2001 Hyundai Accent that sounds like the left tire is rubbing when I go straight or turn right. When I turn left, it goes away? Any thoughts? I took the tire off and there is nothing rubbing. There is though a slight vibration in the steering wheel. Thank you

Sounds like a wheel bearing

Hey thanks. Someone else mentioned that as well.

Usually a broken CV boot will start making clicking noises (mostly at turns cause that's when the joint flexes the most) as the grease in the boot escapes, dries/mixes with dirt. You hear more of a rubbing/grinding noise with a wheel bearing as it starts to seize.

Cool. Thanks a lot. Sounds like that must be the root of my problem
