So i am 99.99% sure i have a hub on my 2g that needs replacing because i heard the same rubbing type of sound prior to replacing my front left and rear right last week...kind of shitty it wasnt noticed to need replacing at the same time as my other 2 but i am hoping you can help me figure out if it is my front right or rear left one making sounds now...When driving i hear the rubbing getting worse when i turn right and practically non-existent when i turn to the left
Did a quick google with no concrete evidence to help me figure it out
Thanks in advance

Depends... could just be a dust shield rubbing the rotor if you still them on your car. But as Jeremy stated a wheel bearing usually gets less audible when it is unloaded but not always. The best is to check them all individually.

Drive the car in the air put a stethoscope on the back of each knuckle and listen. Wiggle test can work aswell. If you dont have a stethoscope use a big screw driver in your ear and on the knuckle. If your wheel bearing is causing a vibration you will find a whole phucking lot of play with the wiggle test.
