Exclamation weird noise.. please help!

okay so recently when i drive my car it sounds like my wheel is hitting something every time it makes a revolution. im not rubbing on anything that i can see and my brother told me it might be an axle problem. any thoughts? its like a scraping/bumping sound. thanks a lot!

Where the noise came from?
Inside or outside the car?
Near the transmission?

If its every revolution then u might have something stuck in the tire like a rock or nail. You should have someone turn the steering all the way and drive the car foward while your in front inspecting the tire as it turns (some soapy water on the wheel would help). Do the same thing for the other front tire. Just rin your hand along the outside of the rear tire to feel if anything is sticking out of the tire. This might help if there is something in the tire.

i had a thumping sound and went to check it at the dealer. it resulted to be a rear bearing. than a week later it started again and took it back in and this time they replaced the whole rear passenger axle. i had it check at a buddies alignment shop first thought. when the car was lifted i could hear the huming noise. thank go im still under warranty.

Yep, probably a wheel bearing or your brake pads might be worn down to nothing.

i've had a similar problem with my car, it made a whirring noise constantly at low speeds, and it ended up being the bearing, i would suggest u get that checked out
