Light scrapping/rubbing noise on my 02 xls more noticeable when turning left but still there when driving straight. Noise is definitely from the right rear, it's not a wheel bearing issue, that was just replaced. Here's the interesting part, it's intermittent, i can go 50 miles and not hear it at all, even in left turns, or I can go 2 miles to work and hear it. When it is happenning it's louder on left turns, brakes are fine and pressing the brakes does not affect the sound at all. One other note, when it is making the noise it's slightly louder under mild acceleration than just coasting. Axle shaft? Axle bearing? I'm at 192,000 miles and I'm lost on this one.
Any ideas are appreciated.
