Default Rubbing sound at high speeds.

OK, so i can hear a rub, and feel a grinding type vibration at high speeds.Especially while turning slightly on the interstate, almost feels like a wheel rub, but that is out of the question......that would most probably be wheel bearings correct??? Is it safe to drive to and from work until replacements come in? TIA

Where is the sound coming from?

Wheel bearings could be the problem or a gouged spindle(mostly likely the result of bad bearings).

Sure you're not rubbing the fender liners? The insides of my tires have been touching the fender liners, not on the top but inboard (like near the ABS if you've got it, eek) since I lowered the car. Especially bad on bumpy freeways with a passenger in the car.

The only thing is it just started, and no one was in the car with me......all i've been doing is driving to and from work.....tires do show a lot of wear on the insides....but i figured that was just a camber problem.....car is significantly low though...ill give it a look see....what should i look for, melted plastic??
