Default horrible grinding type rubbing noise when turning right only??

weird stuff.

kinda hard to diagnose as well since I just did a b18 swap as well as finished lowering the car all at once.

only does it when I turn right. If I'm turning left, I dont hear anything. If I'm going really slow, I dont hear it as well. but I dont think it's a suspension problem as I dont see any stress marks anywhere NOR do I see any evidence of the tire rubbing anything.

also, it will do it on the highway when changing lanes and you know how little you turn the wheel to change lanes....yet it wont do it in a parking lot and LOW speeds.

any ideas??

You got a wheel bearing noise. If your turning right and hearing it, its coming from your passenger wheel bearing because your putting all the weight on your passenger side of the front suspension. When you turn left you dont put any kind of load on that bearing, therefore it doesn't make the noise.

not necissarily, i had a problem like his in my old car, and and it was my axle, the gears inside the axle grinded when i turned right only. so keep that in mind.

ok, weirdest thing in the world. I took my brother in law with me for a spin to get a second opinion on the noise and it would NOT do it.

I'm wondering if the power steering reservoir bubbling over all day yesterday just had suspension stuff overly lubed yesterday making the noises and letting it set over night may have helped??

I was driving like a maniac trying to get it to make the noises as well and it just WOULDNT do it.
