while driving under 20 i don't hear it, but when i get to 40+ i get a scratching sound from my passenger side. sounds like its in the front, but when i go over bumps it'll go off when my back tire hits the ground.

it'll also stop/start with bumps, as well as turns.

i was told by a friend it was a bad wheel bearring, but it might be something worse or to a lesser extent. any ideas?

first thing to do is jack the car up and take a good look. If you're lucky you might just have something stuck in your wheelwell

while u got it up, see if your wheel wobbles, , but you will know eventually if its bad bearings, it gets worse quick and it gets louder

try brakes? my squealed for awhile.

does it sound like metal on metal scraping? could the brake indicator telling you to replace the pads.
