E36General discussion and technical help for (E36) 1992-1999 3 series cars. 318, 323, 325, 328.
after some hard driving in the backroads i notice a loud rubbing noise. It only makes the noise/vibrates when i make a right turn, i checked around the wheel well and there is some minor rubbing on the bumbers side, or when my wheel turns right. So i applied a white grease to see where on the tire the rubbing was occuring, if at all. turns out that is not what is making the noise. Could it possibly be a wheel bearing?
only when making a right turn.. hmm could be a wheel bearing yeah, could be a problem with your control arm or a portion of it (balls joints etc)...does the car shake when breaking or anything?

probably not a wheel bearing, those will usually make the noise unless you are turning the oppisite direction of the bad wheel bearing. Ball joint would be more likely.

it is definitely the ball joint. if you don't do something soon, you will be driving along and the wheel will snap and your car will hit the ground. Happened to me.
