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

Ok well the mechanic up the road (he is a good one) told me he could replace the rear motor mount for $153.00 plus taxes (part include). So I am going to let him do the mount since it seems like a good deal. He wanted $260.00 plus tax to do the bearing so I am going to do it myself.

Does anyone have the recommend torques for the all the parts I will be removing while replacing the wheel bearing?

What should I pay to get the old bearing pressed off and the new one on? (Ballpark) I paid $150 for both at the dealer before and I am going to try and get them to do the bearing pressing for free since it didn't last, but who knows.
