Front wheel noise (Not bearings)

Front wheel noise (Not bearings)
I just picked up a 2004 G35 coupe and I am having a strange problem with the front passenger side wheel.
I searched the forum but haven't found anything like this.
When I get above 60kmh the wheel gets very loud (gravel road) and starts throwing rocks, when I slow down it goes away.
I don't feel anything in the steering wheel and the bearings seem to be tight and spin smooth.
I setup a gopro to try to see what is happening, but I can't see much.
Also both front tires have lots of inner wear so there is an alignment issue, but I don't think it would cause this wheel issue, seems like something is loose?
Here is the video

My g35 coupe is acting up!!!!!
]About a week ago I took my car to get a new rack and pinion, when the repairs were finished my VDC/Slip light were both on. From there I took my car to go get a 4 wheel alignment, just to find out those light are still on.Thinking it must be the tires , I bought a whole new set ,same size I had on before. THAT STILL DIDN'T HELP. When I got home and turned of my car, I let it rest before turning it back on again. When I started the car the lights were off, to my disbelief I started driving down my street, then the slip light started to blink and my car started to stall , then the lights stayed on !!! So on my way back down my street I made a left turn .My passenger tire then began to screech as if it was braking on it own . Then the car started driving normal . Can anyone help me !!!!!

Auric k, We should start a new thread if we can't find one with the VDC/Slip and brake locking. I'm having a similar issue so maybe we can solve it together. I just changed my clock spring. Now as I'm driving down the drive way the VDC ans SLIP light come on. Sometimes holy crap a grunching noise and brake lock then it releases and the car drives fine with the VDC & SLIP light on which means the VDC is off. Now I start my car and before I drive I turn the VDC off. If I forget to turn it off they come on buy themselves and sometimes the grunch noise and brake lock happens sometimes it doesn't. I have an OBD scanner and no codes appear. It feels to me its in the driver side. I've read a thread that says the lights may come on when you need brake fluid or new pads. My brake fluid tank is full. My front pads are new. I'm going to check the rear pads, it's been awhile since they were changed. I'll let you know. Let me know if you search and don't find an answer. We can then start a new thread.

Sounds to me like you boys are having an issue with your ABS sensor. Neither of you mentioned having it checked out and a bad/misaligned one will cause these exact symptoms. Aurick why you even left the shop after the repair and still haven't taken your car back to the people who installed the new rack yet but had time to look thru this forum to ask a question boggles my mind.........seriously???

Sounds like both of you (Acagrill & Auric) need to have your steering angle sensor neutral position reset. That should be done after replacing steering components (rack, clock spring, etc). If the neutral position is not reset, then your car thinks you're sliding and goes nuts trying to keep you on the road.
