Tire Wobble & Noise
#1

My 2000 Durango 2x4 has been having some "rubbing" noise when turning left. I would be all normal when going straight or turning right. But lately a tire wobble has started happening along with the rubbing noise which is getting slightly worse and it makes the noise now when the Durango drives straight. The tire wobble has gotten worse over the last few weeks. It's the same if I'm accelerating or braking.
I took off the tire and the tread is fine, and there doesn't seem to be any damage or wear marks to anything in the suspension area. Maybe a wheel bearing? I don't know.

If it's a bad wheel bearing it will make a very annoying "humming" noise and usually changes tone/pitch as you turn and as you accelerate. It sounds to me like you may just be out of alignment. When was the last time the front end was aligned?
Also, it sounds like the brake rotor is fine because normally if you get a warped rotor that needs turned, it will mainly do it worse when you brake.
I'd start with a front end alignment, and inspect the inner parts of the wheel wells. Are you sure it is coming from the wheels?
