Need help. I have been chasing an odd sound for some weeks now and am no closer to figuring it out.

I can only descibe it as a fairly loud rubbing sound that's frequency coincides with my speed. Seems localized to the front pax side. But is intermittent. Once it starts making the sound, appling the brakes makes no impact to the sound. Moving the steering wheel makes no impact to the sound. Only after I come to a complete stop, and then take off again does it go away.

The only thing I can find that seems to start the rubbing sound again is after traveling at a speed greater that 40 mph or so. But once again, sometimes it happens sometimes it doesn't. I have also noticed it (sometimes) beginning after going over a bumpy road or a hard turn.

Background info:
-Replaced the pax side inner and outer wheel bearings last week- no impact
-Driver's side wheel bearings have only have approx 15k miles on them.
-In the past month I installed a new 19mm M/C and new SS brake lines. Anything hear that could have caused this?
-As far as I know, the front suspension and steering assy have never been touched.
-My tires and wheels have been on the car for quite sometime, so nothing new there.

At this point I suspect something in the suspension, but what is messing with me is the the relatively high volume of the sound and that its frequency is timed with the speed of the car.

sorry for the long blog....... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)
