I have been searching and searching, i've read countless threads. I've googled and googled.. I still cannot pin point why my car is making this noise so please help! I will try to provide as much detail as possible.
Here is the video of the noise that I am hearing. It's a grinding/rubbing noise coming from my rear driver side wheel. I hear the noise more when I am cruising to a stop, not so much after I accelerate past 20mph. I have jacked the car up and checked everything. The 32mm axle nut is tight, I grabbed the rim at 12 and 6 o clock and checked for play, the wheel seems tight with little play. The rotor and brakes seem fine, rotor smooth as glass. I also put the car in first when it was on jackstands to see if the rotors/hub area made any noise and I noticed a grinding noise coming from the passenger side brake area..but I don't know if that has anything to do with the noise I am currently hearing. The car has 40,000 miles. I lowered the car at 36k miles. I did not correct the camber which is leading me to believe that I prematurely put wear on the wheel bearing. I drifted the car at two skidpad events.
Here is the other noise I came across...
Does anyone have any ideas of what my problem could be?
Here is how low my car is on Fortune Auto Coilovers

Oh, I thought that noise was considered a grind... I've had axle click on me and that was a totally different noise. I guess if that is a click then it must be my wheel bearing..
Thanks for the reply, can anyone confirm that this is my wheel bearing?
