1. Brake Pads: Worn-out brake pads can make a rubbing sound against the brake rotor. Check the thickness of your brake pads and replace them if necessary.
2. Brake Rotor: A warped or damaged brake rotor can also cause a rubbing sound. Check the condition of the brake rotor and have it replaced if necessary.
3. Wheel Bearings: Worn-out wheel bearings can cause a rubbing or grinding sound. Check for any play or looseness in the wheel bearings and have them replaced if necessary.
4. Tire Rubbing: If you have recently installed new wheels or tires, they may be rubbing against the wheel well or other components of the suspension. Check for any clearance issues and make adjustments if necessary.
5. CV Joint: A worn-out CV joint can also cause a rubbing sound. CV joints are located at the end of the driveshaft and allow the wheels to turn while the vehicle is moving. Check for any tears or damage to the CV joint boot and have it replaced if necessary.
If you are not able to identify and fix the source of the rubbing sound, it is best to have your vehicle inspected by a qualified mechanic.
