Default Weird noise coming from the passenger side of the car

I've been hearing this weird noise for a week, its whenever I start accelerate or let off the gas the noise starts. I didn't hear much when the car is at a constant speed. What could it be? Bad axle? Wheel bearing? I've changed all ball joints except for the passenger side UBJ, does bad UBJ make this noise?

Also this stupid loud rubbing noise coming from the front when ever I make full lock turn on left, I use 195/60/14 azenis and the car is lowered, I already higher up the coilover its still rubbing with something, could it be the axle is doing that?

what type of noise is it ? if the noise you hear when you turn is a clicking sound then it is more than likely you axle. as far as the rubbing, take the wheel off and see if the tire is rubbing the fender well or the lip on the inside of the fender.

No noise when turning and no its not a clicking noise, the noise only happends when I try to accelerate a little, its more like humming, but its not loud or anything, I had to turn off my CD player and close windows to hear it properly, but its still not loud. I am wondering if it just a engine sound or something...I really hate this kind of problem when you dont know what is going on with it, I rather its more straight forward and I am willing to replace anything thats wrong or about to go wrong.

No I dont have hubcaps, could it be something in the tranny? Like a Differential bearing? or the seal? or missing a circlip? Oh god this is annoying! I have three track days coming up.

check the hood. if the rubber screws where the hood meets the car are not tightly fitted together, at fast accel and stopping (and bumps) the hood could move and make a sqweaking noise.

seems like a real simple thing to forget but make sure all your lug nuts are tight an torqued. Its not bad axles unless its ticking when you steer the car one or the other. the description of your problem is pretty broad but hope this helps a little

you know what it might be... a small rock got stuck inbetween the brake dust shield and ur rotor... check that out... or if not check the brake dust shield.. you might have to bend it back or so...

good luck dude!

if its like a whining, supercharger noise then thats one of the bearings in your tranny. How many miles on the tranny and was it abused? Going thru my tranny rebuild now with the same noise except it was way louder, waay louder. I drove it like that for a while and finally the bearing gave and shattered the final drive so keep an eye on it. Sounds like yours is just starting if its not that noticable.
