Default Rubbing noise coming from rear only when turning right.

Noticed my fox has started making this noise and only happens while turning right. Never left or straight, at least it is absolutely no where near as noticeable. I checked tire clearance and that's not it and nothing is rubbing at all on the rear end. I did a couple months ago, replace the control arms both upper and lower and with new bushings, except for the ones on the diff housing, as I didn't have the punch to get them out or feel like drilling them out. Took all weekend to get the bolts all lined up and the old ones off. What could it be? Axle bearings? the Diff?

Check for a loose or broken exhaust hanger. It may allow enough movement to get a muffler/driveshaft rub. But you'd see this on the driveshaft if you look.

What kind of noise would you compare it to. I know it's kinda hard to explain noises in a forum.

There's definitely not a metal on metal sound. It's like a rubber on metal sound I'd say. Maybe. I've checked every possible tire rub. Checked on tailpipes, checked on fenders and what not. Nothing.
