It seems lately my car has been making a grinding or rubbing sound from the front when I drive it, more specifically it sounds like its coming from the passenger side front. As I build up speed the grinding or rubbing sound increases. I do know that it can't be tire rub because I've looked into the wells, and there are no visible signs. It can't be from the driveline as I coast in neutral I can still hear it. Another thing is that it happens driving straight and turning right, but turning left the noise disappears. Anyone have any idea as to what it could be? I really appreciate any input, even shots in the dark

could be bearings, your brakes could be dragging, splash shield could be rubbing against the rotors would be the first couple things I'd check for.
