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

your wheel bearing more than likely took a **** because it wasnt torqued correctly.

I also thought this may have been the case, but I was unsure on where the miss torque happened, could it have been the axle nut? It has been 4-6 months since I looked at it so my memory is a little cloudy of what all should have been torqued. Could someone verify the torque specifications for the wheel area?

I do now my car was involved in a front end collision that consisted to damage on the drivers side, the wheel bearing is on the passenger side.

Thank you all so much sometimes I think the only reason I keep the 6gc is you guys!!
