My car is making a rubbing sound?

Question

Hi,

Lately, my car was making a rubbing sound when I turned left, now, however it doesn't it sometimes when I back up or even when I being to drive. My car is a 2002 chevy cavalier 2.2 engine and has 30000 miles on it. I have looked and do not see anything that could be dragging. I thought it could be the plastic valance at the front rubbing on the curves but I can hear it also when I go into a driveway with a hill or even it's just a little higher. My service light did come on but it hasn't come on again but my theft system light did come on once as well.

Any suggestions? My financial situation is tenuous and I need to know just how big of a problem this is before I see someone.

????

it is not under warranty anymore that ended at 3 years
and extended ones are too expensive

the wheels are the correct size

Answer 1

maybe the tires are too big..causing the rubbing noise..

if its only got 30K miles it should still be under warranty..take it to chevy

Answer 2

My car did the same thing........it was the brakes...have it checked out.............. "O" Wise One
