Question Scraping on turns

Hey all,
when i make sharp turns in my sc400, i hear something scraping in the back of the car. I am certain it is not the body kit scraping. I went to one place and they told me it could be the rear axle and to get a 2nd opinion. I went to another place and they had no clue. Any suggestions on what else it could be and what i should have my mechanic check out would be appreciated.
Thanks

Could be the ball bearing on that wheel. In most cases, it just needs to be opened up, re-greased, and re-packed. If it shows wear on the *****, you'll have to change them out.

How low is your car, what size wheels/tires, how much fender well clearance from tire to body, any recent work performed? What type of scraping? Does it sound like metal grinding, dull like plastic, brake pad squeal... Does the pitch change with speed...

Be sure to check the right rear upper control arm bushings.they have a tendancy to completely collapse and cause noise.i've done quite a few.
