Hey everyone. I just picked up a 2003 Civic LX from a friend. When I drive I hear a rubbing noise coming from the front right side. It gets faster as the car goes faster. Had a shop tell me it is the wheel bearing, but I don't need to change it for a while. I know the alignment needs to be done, could it be the samething to do with that? Noise seems to quiet when i do brake.

Sometimes I feel like I can feel the rubbing while holding onto the steering wheel.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you

check your brake pads. ur pad life-guage might have broken off and you might be rubbing on the backing of the brake bad plate

im having the same problem with my 2005 civic ex. it feels like i can feel it in my gas pedal sometimes too. and at some point it almost feels like something is getting grinded down every time my tire makes a rotation. please help!

both calipers are bolted down, and i just replaced the rotors and pads. i thought it was the cv but those have already been replaced also. the noise is still there but sometimes more when i turn.

Could be a wheel bearing. When mine went out the wheel had no play, a humming noise and a slightly off-centered steering wheel were the only symptoms.

Have you tried to run the car on jack stands and see if you can isolate the noise with a stethoscope or long screw driver?
