    Ok, so I've had this issue going on for a bit, not sure what it is. Sounds like my tire is rubbing going less then 5mph, or turning in parking lots at low speeds. I've replaced both LCA, upgraded Sway Bar with moog frame bushings and end links, new outer tie rods. Cv axle on drivers side as well. I'm also getting a creeking sound when turning both ways as well as the tire rubbing sound, there is no plastic rubbing in the inside of the tire. I'm not sure what either noise could be. Any ideas? 131k

    Nope, stock brakes. Checked everything with the brakes. I'm stumped on this one. It sounds like plastic rubbing the tires, but it isn't lol

    Check your front brake splash guard/plate, it's down by the ball joint. Sometimes it gets bent in a little and gives you a noise.
    For the record : I am NOT a naked meth-head who shoves rocks up my butt.

    Are you on stock struts still? I'd check the strut bearing/mount up top. Had that noise when mine were going bad. Upon uninstall I found out they had been replaced incorrectly (parts were in the wrong order). Once I installed new ones and got the correct setup in place no more noise.

    My Monroe front mounts made the same noise and were installed correctly.
    I put in some Duralast from Autozone because I finally snapped on a Sunday and couldnt wait for an order

    I'm still on stocks, how do you tell if the top mounts are bad?

    Not sure, at that mileage I'd be replacing all the struts/mounts anyway. Car will probably ride totally different.

    Here's a thread on it--> http://www.grandprixforums.net/threa...-keeps-failing
