Grinding noise while car is in motion . . .

A grinding noise is comming from my right side front wheel. Noise doesn't get louder when i apply the brakes. The noise gets louder the more the wheel spins. Is it a wheel bearing or the brakes? Any input is appercated. Thanks- Clayton T.

have you recently installed new brake rotors? If so, you may have inadvertantly sawpped bolts holding the caliper in place. One is longer than the other and will rub against the rotor if plaed in the wrong hole. Even if this is not the case, check your rotors for scoring.

Nah, i haven't touched the brakes in about 2 years (it was down for a year anyways while i was in air force training/tech school); so on that note it is probably due. Thanks for the suggestion!

Any other advice would be appercated.
