Default rubbing noise?

Hi guys,
Today I was driving my 92 sc400 and noticed when driving slow, there seams to be a rubbing noise. Also I can feel a very small vibration when this is acording. It feels like its coming from the right front wheel but im not too sure. I looked at the brake pads on both sides and they appear to still have allot of life to them.
Im not sure what is causing this, or if it is a serious problem?
I have also noticed that my steering wheel is tilted just a little bit to the right when going in a straight line. Could this be related to the rubbing?
A friend told me that its possibly an alignment issue, and when the alignment service was done, it would fix both the rubbing and steering wheel problem. He is not a mechanic so I wanted to get a second opinion before having this done.

Thanks for any help in advance,
Will

The rubbing noise could be a worn bushing.
The steering wheel thing is definitely alignment.
