Front RT Side Noise
I'm hearing what sounds like a scraping type sound coming from the right front wheel area. I jacked the car up this morning and took the wheel off. Lifted the caliper, brake pads were fine. Pads and rotors are only a year old and show no wear after about 8k miles of driving. These are the Frozen rotors and Akebono pads. I must say the combo is working great.
Back to my problem. the only time i hear this noise is while the car is turning right. If driving straight or turning left no scraping noise is heard. While up on the jack i turned the wheels all the way to the right but could not hear anything unusual. So i can only hear it when the car is running and in a right turn. I did notice that while hearing the noise while in drive if i stopped the car and kept the wheel in the same position i would not hear the noise in reverse. So that doesn't makes since to me. Why do i hear it driving forward but with the wheel in the same position no noise is heard while in reverse or turning it the opposite direction no noise is heard while in reverse. I hope i explained this good enough for someone to give me an idea of what's going on. It just started about a week ago. Suppose to be going to the Reading Meet this Saturday........

=================== either the dust sheild or the typical scraping sounds that the drilled and slotted rotors have given me on my previous 2 svxi. Just comes with the territory i guess = With the wheel off i turned the rotor and l could not see where anything was rubbing. Nor could i mimic what i was hearing with the wheel installed and car moving. I did check the dust cover. I have no such noise turning left and this just started recently. I still have your motor mounts Tom they will go on eventually..

I have the exact same symptoms as you do have. This is becoming very annoying and I already checked the dust shield, the calipers, the flanges, the bearing, the strut mounts, the wheels.... really a PITA and embarrassing sound and I am not being able to pinpoint it yet
