Friction sound when turning left-getting worse!
 
Stock 09 Z. Replaced rotors and brakes 2 months ago. Tires year and half old.

Slight noise getting worse last three weeks. Noise now loudest when turning left but now you can hear it slightly at low speeds going straight. When you speed up, cars sound covers it. Coming from front right.

Pulsating sound thats gets faster as you speed up and I can feel it slightly through steering wheel when its at its loudest.

If this car was FWD, I'd have already sworn it was a worn/torn CV joint.

Searched and searched online. Found nothing except people saying its the tire or wheel well rubbing. This is definitely something of s mechanical nature.

Any thoughts are appreciated....

Check for worn/loose parts in the front steering/suspension. Take to a good shop and get them to check it out. Or shake the s**t out of everything (do with front on ground and then off ground) - should be zero slack.

Could be a bad tire, eg, tread separation.

If it's tire/wheel rubbing there should be signs of it on a tire or in the wheel well. It has to leave a mark somewhere. I have also experienced tire belt separation & or slippage on previous vehicles. Sometimes, depending on the severity, you may be able to see or feel a deformation on the sidewall , a slight bulge on the tread area, or cupping wear on the tread area. Be sure to check the inside wall of the tire also. If the noise is there under all times, only differing in speed or turning, jack up the front & check for a bad wheel bearing perhaps. Give the wheel a shake while grasping it at the 12 & 6 o'clock positions. Hope this helps a bit.:tiphat:

It is a front brake backing plate rubbing or you have a front wheel bearing going out. One of the two.
