Bushings problem?

[Petrucci914]

Hey,Whenever I turn I hear a low rubbing sound and can sometimes feel it under my feet. Could this be a bushings problem? Sometimes it also seems like my tires are spinning but I highly doubt that since I don't usually step on it. Someone told me that the highly doubt a wheel bearing or CV joints. What else could it be? Thanks!

well i mean it could be warped rotors, but it sounds like the brake caliper isnt releasing all the way. this happened to my sable. the pistons in the caliper wouldnt release all the way after i would brake then turn so it would rub on the disc. if you do your own brakes, pop that caliper off and make sure the piston isnt seized up.

I'm not so sure, though. It only does it when I turn, how could that be a brake problem - wouldn't it make the sound all the time? Mostly when I turn left over turning right. It sounds like a rubbing sound and I can feel something as well. When I got the car I noticed that someone popped holes in the plastic shield in front of the front tires..... possibly trying to cool the brakes more. I'm not sure, my brakes were definetely stronger a few months ago than they are now. I haven't had time to pop off the tires to check yet, but any other suggestions? Any recommendations on Cross-drilled rotors? Thanks!

My car did that and it's pretty common on cars with wider aftermarket tires or rims without oem offset.

I have nice Melted hols from the Tire rubbing on the inner fender well. the little plastic clips "Fell out" and when I turned the wheel or went over 70 mph it rubbed - Fixed the clips and no problems since.
