need more description, such as which end of car noise is coming from. you could try checking your plastic sheilds.

Yes...need more details. Take the tire off the corner where the noise is being made and check for worn out or "shiney" areas in your wheel well and diagnose from there.

often times the springs make noise when the coils touch eachother, it could be that, what brand are they and some have a plate you place on them to keep the coils from rubbing eachother. dono just a thought

well it sounds like a grinding almost like brakes with no pads or a bearing or sumthin but i just got the front brake pads replace so what else could it be, the tires not rubbing on anything/

Picture this, when i turn left with my drivers side tire, it scrapes, as a result i have a worn away mark on the inside of the wheel well, if you are facing the wheel well its the back right upper spot. Its due to my shocks being blown, but maybe you could have the same rubbing for one reason or another. Hope this helped somehow.

who put on the pads? Check them out too while you have the rim/wheel off the car. Loose parts could cause adnormal "grinding"
