Wierd vibrating or rubbing noise
« on: February 06, 2007, 08:07:42 PM »
I have a 1996 Sidekick and I've noticed that when ever I'm driving along and I turn to the right, I hear a wierd vibrating, or rubbing sound and I've looked and don't see anything rubbing at all. Does anybody have any Idea what it might be? And if so, is it something major?

I wouldn't think those tires wowuld be big enough to rub.

JUST for grins, you might make sure your lug nuts are tight.  There can be some bizarre symptoms when your wheel is secretly working its way off.

Could also be the wheel bearing.
