Whenever I make a left turn it feels as if my right tire is catching on something just slightly. You can hear a rubbing noise and feel it as you turn. I have already replaced my rotors, brake pads, and wheel bearings but the noise still remains. Could the caliper be sticking causing the pad to rub and make that noise?
 






Dumb question:
Are you sure the tire isn't rubbing? Again dumb question but that's where I'd start.

When you replaced the brakes, did the caliper slide easily back to allow room for the new pads? I'm not 100% sure how to test/check a sticking caliper, but I'd assume if it slid back easily it may not be sticking as it has free movement.

IDK just mho =D
