scraping/grinding, help before i blow this thing up
a couple of hours ago i drove down the street to the store and right after i left my house i heard this scraping/ grinding noise coming from the front left of the car whenever i went over the slightest bump in the road. it isnt any worse when i go around corners. there wasnt even a progression from quiet to loud, it went from being fine this morning to loud enough to the point that people turn and look whenever i go over a bump or brake. not to mention the corners of my bumper are popping off and the clips wont hold and i had to have my timing belt and cylinder head replaced 2 weeks ago. as u can see im not to happy, sorry for the rant, but any help will be greatly appreciated.
p.s. 118k on the car

no not the wheel bearings, they just make an annoying sound as your driving above 35mph (if they went out).
i would have your suspension checked, could be bad control arms. I would get it checked pronto chop though.

ok i feel like an ***, it was the skid plate, reattached it, took it for a drive...whats that noise? my car now sounds like a fart-canned civic. its coming from the middle/front of the exhaust, possibly the resonator? whatever it is im getting sick of this piece, just one thing after another.
