Default wth is grinding when i turn left?

It only grinds when I make a left hand turn it sounds
like its coming from suspension? I have no idea I took the
wheel off and didn't see anything wrong. Any ideas?

is the car lowered ? what type of wheels are on the vehicle ? could just be rubbing, also could be wheel bearings/joints.

more than likely the wheel bearings have you hit a curb at all or ran over anything. if it were the wheels and suspension it should rub when you turn right also since everything would be the same all around but if its just when you turn left have the bearings checked thats more than likely the problem.

its probably the little brake shield thing on the back of the rotor. its a flimsy peice of sheetmetal so it bends easy
