Check to make sure your fender liner is in good and not hanging down too far in any spots.

Do you have the same gap between tire and fender on the left and right side of your car when tires are aimed straight?

I'll check to see if its straight or not and i already checked the fender liner. I think it might be because of cheap suspension, when i took out my wheels to see where it was scraping at i saw a scrape mark on the top right....the scrape mark was like shiney metal because the tires scraped all the dirt nd dust out? i don't know but earlier i made a U turn and i smelt a nasty tire burning smell
If i were to take pictures of where its scraping at do u guys think u would have a better idea of whats wrong with my car?

i'd prefere the term "rubbing". not "scraping". but whatever. get new coilovers if needed. and like what trick_db says, maybe you have a blown shock.

Is it possible you have tires that are too big?

The proper tire sizes, which shouldn't rub, are:

On 14" wheels: 195/60-14 or 185/65-14
On 15" wheels: 195/55-15 or 205/50-15

So it makes a loud squealing noise when you take corners too fast? My guess would be that the previous owner cut the springs.
