I have noticed a noise coming from the front end (I believe the passenger side) for about a week. It is intermittent, occurring only when turning to the right with a fair amount of wheel turn required for it to happen (such as pulling out from a parking lot 90 degrees). Typically happens in the 20s-30s MPH range, never hear it on the freeway. Only occurs turning right, never while going straight or to the left, and when it occurs it is a constant scraping type sound, with no shaking or vibration.

In the video (sorry for potato quality) you can hear the scrape/screech intermittently starting after 1:00.

At first I thought wheel bearing but it does not seem to be worse with higher speeds and the strong association with turning makes me wonder if it could be a warped part of a brake rotor that is making contact at certain degrees of wheel turn only?

I will put the car up on jacks and get the wheel off tonight.

Any thoughts?

 

Details: This is a 2013 Base with 78,000 miles, no prior brake or suspension work has been undertaken. New winter tires installed 11/2017.

 

Not sure I heard it, but from your written description I would look at brakes (pads and rotors) first.

You'll know more when you lift the car and spin the wheel by hand and listen.

Good luck.

 

I'm sure that the lug nuts are tight.

Have you changed the front brake pads recently or should they be changed? At this mileage, the caliper piston could be hanging up, wearing the pads on one side faster than the other and the "alert" metal strip might be intermittently touching the brake rotor.

I just recently saw this on our CIVIC with 110K miles.
