Rotational rubbing noise + other problems

Hello,

Im getting a rotational rubbing noise from the rear right wheel when there is no weight on it .ie going straight or turning left at any speed.

On other notes camber appears to be out in the rear end, the inside couple of inches are wearing.

Also when going around left hand bends at speed the weight shifts abnormally to the right, I believe it happens at lower speeds but doesnt feel so dangerous.

Im thinking Rear bearing needs replacing and possibly something else out of alignment or loose? to give a bit of background the rear right lower arm and the lower control arm link have been replaced due to a previous accident a few years ago.....

an suggestions what I should look at first?

Rubbing Noise

I just got my car about 200 miles ago and I have noticed a noise that sounds similar to your problem. Does it sound like the pads rubbing on the rotor? My noise is definately cyclical, doesn't sound like I'm out of brake pad just a rubbing sound. I seem to have the same syptoms, straight I hear it most to all of the time and turning right seems to make it go away. I haven't had time to take it apart yet to see if it is just the brakes. Is your noise loud enough to hear over most other sounds? I have to have the radio off and RPM's sort of low to hear mine. Good luck, I'll let you know if I find anything.
