...when making a right turn, a rubbing noise comes from the left front tire area
Tire may be bad or needs an alignment
SOURCE: Loud thud or bang type noise coming from the front
Sometimes noises aren't where you think they are. If indeed it is in that area, check your swaybar end links, these will make loud noises if bad. If they are loose, replace them with one's that are greaseable, like Moog. Also, could be your slip yoke on your driveline, take it out and grease it.
End links will cost roughly $70 for Moogs for both sides and about an 1-1/2 hours to replace.
The slip yoke is easy, approximately 15 minutes and some lithium grease.

Could be a tie rod... or ball joints... or the steering shaft! : (

The noise you are hearing is most likely from the tires. If you like the the tires try wheel spacers or if its a 4x4 try cranking the torsion bars, but make sure you do them equally

Hi,
The tire noise will be due to the car needing a wheel alignment, just take it down to your local tyre dealer and they will check it for you if you are not sure.
As for the burning smell, if it's coming from the engine it could be a simple oil leak leaking onto the exhaust or could be more serious like worn rings or valve guides.
Good luck.
