Did I lose a wheel bearing or heat shield rattling?

I have an 09 with 26 k miles. Recently my car started making a noise whenever I make a turn with my wheel. It sounds like metal on metal rubbing

Default Did I lose a wheel bearing or heat shield rattling?

I have an 09 with 26 k miles. Recently my car started making a noise whenever I make a turn with my wheel. It sounds like metal on metal rubbing noise. It seems to be louder on right turns and left. I can get it at any speed and it will do t even with engine off. At first I thought it was a wheel bearing, now I think t might be a heat shield or something as I get a rattle from under the car whenever I close the door too . Does this sound familiar to anyone or is my car just falling apart?

strange because I also had my front right wheel bearing going bad last year with the car having 40 000kms (25000miles)
It was replaced under warranty

bad wheel bearing on the expressway sounds like a DC10. very errie sound.

i dont remember hearing rattles from shaking the car with bad bearings.

I think 99% of these issues ended up with needing a steering rack replacement

Mine was similar to what you describe and it ended up being one of the front brake dust shields vibrating. I wedged a piece of rubber in it and sound vanished.
