Default Rubbing sound (sorta)

When I turn my wheel to the left it sounds like somethings rubbing. But nothing is. On my old car I would hear the same noise because the wheel bearing was completely shot. I've been told that this is not the problem on my Camaro. It doesn't do it when I turn the wheel to the right. Also if I hit a bump in the road my car shoots to the side. It's coming from the front right side. I was told this is a normal noise but I'm not so sure.

Sounds like a mis-aligned front end to me. Check your tire that makes the fuky sound and I bet either the inner or outer edge will be more worn. Compare it to the other tire. If you see a disparity in wear, its the alignment/tie rod.

The right tire is a little bit more worn than the left, but not that noticable. I had to check a few times and measure. I guess it could still be the same thing but hasn't been happening that long so there's nothing to show.

That sounds really weird!

Repost this in "General Repair and Maintenience" and someone will probably know what to tell you. But for right now i'm sorry hun but I haven't a clue what to tell you about what it could be.

Definetly check your tie rods to see if there straight.
