Unhappy rubbing sound on left turns?

OK...What did I break?
When I make a left hand turn, I can hear a strange rubbing sound coming from my rear passenger area. The harder the turn, the louder the sound. Sounds like my tire is wobbling, but I don't think it really is. everything *looks* normal down there and is tight.
I think it might have been caused by putting the stock LCAs back on while I wait for new ones. Then racing an SS, fishtailing every gear due to traction problems. (at least I won,right) They dont look broken to me though
I'm taking my car to the dealership for a window problem soon, and would like to have an idea of what's wrong before they try to tell me something stupid.
Might be a stupid question but I don't know the answer

Is the panhard bar tight????
You say G2 sus, does this include the adjustable PHB?

Is it adjusted properly?

Not adjustable just poly ends. Yea, it's tight..checked it last night when greasing,tires are properly inflated and balanced too.
I don't see why its only on left hand turns or lane changes. Also can't understand what would cause this at all. A pulsing rub sound from the back only when turning left..."I'm sure that damn sasquatch is behind all of this!"

If it isn't the LCAs,check your C clips,one of mine came off and caused that sound on u-Turn at the end of the track.
Had I had drum brakes or a Mustang I would have lost the axle!!
