you do know this is an Acura board?
while I LOVE ALL CARS! it will be hard to diagnose your problems...because 1) we dont have trucks...2) we cannot inspect your vehicle over the internet....

your best bet is to inspect the drivers side wheel. FIND out what is rubbing. ONLY you can do this..NOT us!


First thing I always ask.. WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU HIT!? (girls always say...I DIDNT HIT SHIT!) then when I go inspect their vehicle...it's obvious they hit SOMETHING.
the first thing you should do is look at the wheel well and look for evidence of rubbing. pretend to be a police investigator/accident investigator.
Refer to Newtons Law....FOr every action..there is an equal and opposite reaction....

For those who cannot provide constructive feedback please do not post in this thread. This is not how we welcome new members.

thoiboi is on the right track. Have your brakes inspected as well. Might be due for new brake pads. Could also be the metal shield behind the brake rotor got bent and is rubbing. Being 10+ years old it could also be a bad wheel bearing.

If you're not handy I would just have a mechanic take a look.

^ Another +1 for possible wheel bearing, if it's a "rhythmic sound"

Had a bad front left wheel bearing on my TL that exhibited the same symptoms... I'd have it checked.
