I'd be weary of a hub bearing failure & like gio/geo said, lift the front & spin the tires, then I'd feel for where the issues is coming from. If you can get a mechanics stethoscope then that would be a bonus because you could come closer to pin pointing it.
the abs sensor is part of the dust plate! i think you model is different its screwed into the hub instead of mounted on the dust plate that why i posted a pic of it

away you dont want it to rub the rotor just jack up the tire and spin it by hand if its rubbing you will hear it. does it do it all the time or more when your cornering?

mainly when I turn going slow like through a drive through. but today after work I pulled both tires off and found that they had been rubbing so I beat both them back and it does it sometimes but its alot better then what it was. now i got work on getting my brakes to stop squeekin

thats when mine where making that grinding sound turning going slow. squeaking brakes could be anything from a little sand to not using brake grease on the back side of the pads i wouldn't worry about it to much
