Another noise issue, (Wheel Bearing & Motor Mount), Noise comming from passenger side front end of 95 GT Options

[ETNRIDER]

Hey everyone!! I have not been around much the past couple of months due to school, work, baby, etc !!!! I hope everyone has been doing ok.

Anyway, I have an issue with the front passenger side wheel well of my 1995 GT.

Whats happening:

Nearly everytime I turn to the left I hear a rubbing sound. Sometimes it happens when I am going straight after a left turn. The noise only comes during one spot of the tire rotation, every time the valve stem is at the 5 o’clock position. The noise does not really sound like metal on metal more like a rubber on metal sound.

The car has new brakes, rotors, wheel bearings about 6 months ago.

What I have done:

Took the wheel off and nothing seemed out of place or lose. There were no signs of any wheel rubbing on the tire or inner fender. Switched the front & rear wheel and the noise continued.

What think it may be:

Tie rod end
Sway bar bushing
CV axle
Doubt it but may be a stuck Caliper

I only have Sunday afternoons to mess with my car so please help me diagnose this problem, any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks 6gc!!!

A grateful Etnrider

Is there any possibility your wheel is bent? Otherwise I'd check the ball joint, things that rotate and the same rate as the wheel itself. Assuming you took the wheel off and did not put it back in the precise same position it was in when you removed it, it's gotta be something specifically axle-related or else the wheel would cause that noise still but at a different valve stem position now.
