For the last couple months I have noticed a very slight rubbing sound coming from the front passenger side wheel well. When I turn right it goes away, but when I straighten out it comes back. It is not getting any worse than it was when it started which makes me think Brake pad problems, but I have had a problem with my last car's wheel bearings and it sounds similar to that sound. Thanks.

Sounds like hub bearing to me too. I dont think its a brake noise but you can check the brakes by pulling off the wheel and inspecting them. A hub bearing you probably will not be able to detect by visually inspecting it and some cases they feel ok when you remove them but the noise goes away when you replace it. If your still not sure have a mechanic road test for you, they should be able to tell you for sure in a matter of minutes
