Here are some potential causes and fixes for a rubbing sound from the front end when driving a 2000 Nissan Sunny:

- Worn brake pads
- Sticking brake caliper
- Wheel bearing issue
- Suspension issue
- Bent rim
- Misaligned wheels

The rubbing is most likely being caused by worn brake pads or a wheel/suspension issue if it's coming from the front. Start by thoroughly inspecting those components. Test driving after each fix to verify the sound is gone.
