This is making me nuts.....four mechanics, new tires, brakes and rotors all around. This only happens once in awhile. "If they can't hear it they can't fix it". I hear a muffled thump followed by a rubbing sound then a squeaking/grinding another thump and the noise is gone.....till the next time. I thought it was in the rear but now almost positive it is in the front right wheel. The rubbing sound slows and speeds with speed of vehicle.
