So this Morning I was driving to work with the windows down. I noticed that when I turn left, theres like a scraping noise comming from the front left side. It only happens when i turn left and the noise goes away when it's going straight or even turning right. Is this a rotor problem , a bearing problem or something worse ? I know my brakes need to be replaced (this weekend) but I don't think that would cause the noise since it only happens when I turn left. What do u think

My wifes car made a loud rubbing sound under the right wheel well when she made a sharp right turn. It turned out being a bearing problem.

Is your inner wheel liner still intact?
Can you see any clean spots within
the dirty wheel well liner area?
Have you fully inspected the left front
suspension?

Sounds like something with the suspension to me.

hey ok.. just looked at it again.. i take it back.. its not the left front.. its the left rear where the noise is comming from.. and its not a painful sounding scratch.. just a suttle one but enough to know it isnt normal.

is it a scratching or a rubbing? You may wanna check your rear brakes as well as the fronts.

Next it will be the muffler bearing and not the left rear.
Pull your diff cover and check and see that your C clip
did not become accidentally dislodged...

ok took the car into the shop.. it was the brakes.. the back brakes .. the back left was metal on metal.. caught it in time before they had to replace the whole rotor though.. The only thing i dont get, is why the noise only happend when i turned left.. if it was the brakes causing the issue, wouldnt i have to be pushing the brake for the noise to be heard? i was just turning left not applying the brake and i heard the noise.. weird

Ive had my right rear pad dig into my rotor somehow and I had to get them turned, it had plenty of pad too.
