Started to be an ongoing problem, thought I had a wheel bearing going out for a while since it squeaked.. now I can actually hear them rubbing at low speeds.

What causes this :shrug: Seems like they're getting tighter.
 
Mine do this in the front... I've yet to figure a cause. Everything is adequately lubed, the rotors were replaced, the pads were replaced, the caliper is a rebuilt, all the hardware was replaced... still does it?
 
a failing tie-rod end, or bearing can significantly increase play in the rotor thus causing it to rub against the caliper itself, OR cause the outer edge of the caliper to rub/knock against the inner lip of a rim.
