Default Noise when taking a left.

'99 GS300 makes a noise when I'm taking a left turn, like something scraping metal on metal. Thought it was maybe the dust cover scraping the rotor, but there's no sign of anything scraping. Anyone have any ideas ? Driving me nuts. Doesn't really sound like anything major, but who knows.

Have you checked your ball joints and tie rods lately?

Try lifting the car, turn the wheel left and turn the wheel by hand to see if you can recreate the sound to find where its coming from. A video or sound clip would help...
