I have a 2000 Saturn LS and am hearing a scraping sound coming from the front of the car. I can only hear the sound when I'm moving forward above 15mph and seems to get slightly worse as I go up in speed. I don't notice it while I'm in reverse. I don't notice a difference in the sound between moving the car directly forward or when I turn left or right.

I took it to the dealership and had the front dust boots, calipers, rotors and break pads replaced because the calipers were binding. The sound is still present after the repair. Other than going somewhere else for a diagnosis, what could the problem be?

Thanks in advance!

I too have that problem. 1998 Escort zx2 standard trans. Noise is heard inside passenger side. I replaced the wheel bearing and cv axle. I lifted front of car and put it in 4th gear and listened from under with a stethoscope. The wheels, roters, and calipers were off the vehicle. The only place I heard a noise from was the rack n pinion. How can this be?
