My 08 gx just started making this weird noise when I have I'm leaving from a stop and have the wheel towards the right. It sounds like a rubbing noise. This doesn't happen when I have the wheel turned to the left. Only the right.

thanks sid

Did you ever find out what was wrong? I have this same problem.

Bad wheel bearing, cv joint?

If not, are yall running the stock tire size?

I'm asking because I'm running larger tires and before trimming / using a heat gun I rubbed more on the passenger side (louvered part on the wheel well / fender liner) than on the drivers side.

Thanks for posting this. Until your post, I had just dismissed mine as the tire rubbing. I'll put mine on a hoist next week and take a look.

It's not a grinding or snapping noise like a CV, mine is a rubbing noise that I assumed started when I put on the summer tires. Now that I see you have had the same issue, you have me wondering

Yes, I am running stock tire size.
I have an idea that it is the front wheel bearing and hub assembly. Of course, it could also be a ball joint.

I have an appointment at the stealership tomorrow so I will let you know. Luckily, this is covered under my extended warranty.

Thanks RCsGX... that's a pretty sharp observation!!!

If anyone with a GX cares, mine was just the right tire catching the skid plate. The skid plate comes off every time I get the oil changed and I guess the guys bent the right corner down just slightly. I just crawled under the front bumper and bent the corner back up about an inch.

Cheers!

Don't you love it when it's something so simple.
