Well, I jacked the car up tonight to see if there was any plan or noise just rotating the wheels by hand. The passenger side one rotated freely, slight brake noise which I'm assuming is normal, and there wasn't any play in it. The driver's side was the same except that it didn't roll quite as freely. Still no noise from either with them jacked in the air.

I didn't take the tires off, but I know the suspension parts were all tight as I looked at that while I was doing the brake job. Theres nothing protruding out that would rub either.

Also, to clarify, I do get noise just going straight. The noise increases with speed and also when I turn to the right.
