2009 mustang GT, 112,000 miles but has been well maintained, 5 speed manual transmission, 4.6 liter. At first I thought it was coming from the front passenger side wheel. Replaced the wheel bearing assembly and a fairly worn tie rod. Neither helped at all. The sound is what you'd expect to hear from a rubber-on-rubber sort of situation. It seems to begin once the engine warms up a little, or once I break, say 20 mph. And once it starts, it doesn't stop. The sound becomes more intense and loud the faster I go, then it quiets when I slow down. Also, it seems to get worse (louder) when I swerve to the right, and better (more quiet and maybe even silent) when I swerve to the left. I'm at my wits end with this thing, man. Can't seem to chase it down. Any ideas at all??

You might slide out if you are going too fast.

Inner fender liner rubbing on the tire. Look for missing clips or torn out holes
