Default Odd scraping sound.

After getting my springs installed I notice that when ever i make a hard left or even just yank my wheel to the left hard I get this odd scraping noise from my right rear. Its only when i make hard left turns and does not do it when i make hard right turns. Doesn't sound like its rubber rubbing on anything.

Any thoughts on what it could be? Part of me thinks it could be a bent brake dust shield.

Plan on taking it back in on Tuesday and see if we can figure it out.

Have you tried pushing the dust shield away from the disc with a screwdriver (through the wheel) then take it a run?

I went with ISO's

Also just noticed today that the front right is rattling as well as scraping when turned to the left.

I had a strange scraping sound once coming from the back end . Turned out it was a prostitute I had dumped in the trunk a couple of weeks earlier. ******* bitch had me worried. I thought there was something wrong with the car.
