Hello,
Noticed a howling sound coming from what appears the right side of front end, First thought that it might be power steering or tires. Eliminated both thru testing. Going real slow on smooth road, I can just about feel a grinding or rubbing sensation in the pedals. Bearings? Thought those were sealed ?
Thanks for your advice in advance

A sound as described here is usually wheel bearing...although it is an assembly, it is man made, we have not made the forever car part yet!
