Moderate scraping noise coming from my right front tire

Daily pulsating moderate scrapng noise coming from right front tire when I drive out of my parking lot present for the past 2 years.It disappears after 2 miles of 30 mph driving.Brakes do not pulsate.Brake pads are ok.Tire spins 3 times around by hand hand jacked up. No noticable bearing noise.No play on inner tie rod.Outer tie rod is firm.I replaced the tire 1 year ago but noise was still present.No rotor backing plate is present.CV joint pulls both front tires evenly on acceleration.Right front tire had a shimmy when I replaced it 1 year ago and now has returned after 3000 miles of driving.Any diagnosis would be appreciated.

A shimmy condition indicates it needs a wheel alignment
best take it to an accredited front end specialist shop for a proper diagnosis of the problem

Clicking noise turning right

Could be a tire hitting the inner fender skirting. Check both front tires to see if they are clean/scraped right at the tread and side. This is a good indication that the tire is rubbing something. Also, since your turning right, you put more weight of the vehicle on the left side. You might want to check the front and rear wheel bearings on the left. I've heard them click before, but only under pressure.

Loud scraping noise when turning corner or backing up

The scraping noise may be a "tire rub," where one or both front tires are rubbing the wheel
wells during a turn (going forward or backing up).
Cause: possible ties size may be a little larger than the tires specified by Dodge for the vehicle.
Check: the driver's door panel, which will show manufacturer-recommended tire sizes and inflation pressures.

Abs active light on, brakes pulsate when tapped. what's that mean?

The ABS Active monitor comes on when one or more of the wheels are not spinning at the same rate of speed. The ABS system determines wheel "lock up" from the wheel speed sensors and will adjust brake pressure to unlock the skidding wheel(s). It achieves this operation with a pump which will rapidly pump the brakes to the specified wheel. I'm assuming this is the "pulsation" you are experiencing. If you are having this problem under light to moderate braking, be sure to have the proper size tires on all 4 wheels. Incorrect tire sizes and uneven tire wear will give improper wheel speed information the the ABS controller. This will result in a malfunction of the system.

93 Grand Caravan right rear wheel/brake problem(s)

well i can help with problem #2

even if you tightened the wheel bearing, it is probably worn out..

what it does when it's loose is you won't hear much noise when you drive on a strait road but the minute you put some weight on it, like when you take a curve, the weight of the body is applied on the bearing resulting in a scraping noise....

and the faster you'll drive the more noise you'll get

so let's say you take a left turn you're gonna hear noise from the right wheel...

OCCASIONAL Metallic scraping noise - New ceramic brake pads.

You could be right with the wheel bearings. But first take the wheel off and check that nothing is scraping the rotor. Look all the way around the rotor. A suggestion will be that the brake pads have worn enough that the brake pad wear indicator is starting to scrape. Pry them back a little.
