Hey people, thought i'd ask the TN specialists about this.

So randomly one day after driving, my left front wheel area is making this STUPID ANNOYING grinding noise as I turn. But when i use my brakes, it doesn't sound like it's cutting into my rotors. I checked the strut/shocks in the front and near the fender, but i can't really do a great job since my jack sucks. Any ideas?

seems like a dumb question, but do you have hubcaps?

also, did you have any work done anywhere in that wheel well lately?

and yeah, STS changed my front two tires...fucking dweebs...

well first remove the hubcaps, see if the noise goes away ... it has worked in the past

if not, ill havta remember the plate that causes this sort of noise - i always forget the stupid name, but i mentioned it in another post, so ill find it eventually
