601LEXTACY

91 lexus, 276k miles. I been hearing this funny noise coming from the front passenger side tire on my care. Only noticeable at 20 mph and up it sounds like the rim is rubbing on the brake caliper. Is this possible or are my rotors in need of replacement all the way around. Everything on my ls is original and has not been touched.

Could this noise also be from a wheel bearing?

haha.. sounds like how my car sounded.. but hopefully its not the same problem.. my rotors were warped then i guess it was rubbing on the pad and wore out that pad.. to a point were it got so thin that.. it slipped out while i was pulling out of the driveway to get it to my friends garage to go get it changed... the piston on the caliper then was on the rotor itself... YEA.. BAD... haha.. so i ended up doing the brake job in my driveway ... i changed all four rotors and pads.. =D problem solved.. but your problem may be different..

How is the tire wear on that one corner?

With the car safely raised up and supported, when you spin the wheel, can you feel any grittiness or hear any sound?

Do you feel any wobble when you grab each side and gently push it side to side?
