Howdy All. I've got a 98 caravan with a d**n rubbing noise. Can't determine if it's in the front or rear. Suspected front bearings. Replaced both front and still have the rubbing noise. It usually appears around 50kmh to about 60kmh and sort of disappears after 60kmh. Front drivers side bearing was leaking grease. Thought I found the problem. Guess not. Any Idea's. Thanks in advance.

Bearing noises never disappear with speed changes, they always get worse with more speed. Usually, noises that disappear are tire/wheel related. Try swapping the tires front to back and see if the noise follows. Check your tire treadwear pattern and see if anything is out of sorts. All season tires should wear very evenly with smooth feeling tread. Also, you may want to get the alignment checked.
