Bad Hub?

This just started this morning. When making slow speed right turns in a parking lot I can hear a metal scraping noise from the right wheel area. It's the same sound you hear from the brake pads slightly touching the rotor when spinning a front tire that's lifted off the ground. However, this is much louder and is heard from inside with the windows up.

I didn't find any play when push/pulling on the tire in the 3/9 or 12/6 positions. I hear the noise only when making right turns. So, is it likely a bad wheel bearing or could a bad right shaft u-joint cause this too? Thanks!

U-joints? raise axle turn wheels and rotate by hand probably get a little grinding

Have you looked at your brakes? Dust cover might be getting pushed in while turning? Just ideas.

Yeah, those worthless dust covers are just fancy noise makers.

The best way to find out if it is the hub... Drive around for about 10-15 minutes. Then get out and touch the outer (stub) axleshaft on the side you think is bad. If you just burned the s*!t out of your finger. Your hub is bad.
