Question grind/rubbing noise when turning

ok, so 2000 z28, almost 170k on body, its been making a grinding/ rubbing sound when i turn so i replaced the wheel hubs. seemed like the noise went away for a little bit but its back. also just had the rear rebuilt with 3:73 gears with new bearings, races, seels so i dont think its anything in the rear (it was making this noise before the rear was rebuilt). it sounds like its coming from the passenger from wheel well. any idea guys? its driving me crazy

Are you lowered or running oversized tires?

I had the same issue, it ended up being a pitted axle. Replaced the axle and axle bearing and was good to go.

My car does this same exact thing. Has 17k miles on it. Sounds like a tire rubbing plastic. It does it even when the wheel isnt turned too far so i doubt it is actually rubbing. Sound comes crom same area as you. Drives me nuts!!!!

My trans am is making the same noise in from the wheel wells but only while giving it gas while turning, like making a right or left at a stop sign. Would really like to figure this out.

In my case, it turned out to be that the rear end wasn't centered perfectly, plus the rear sway bar link had broken on a test launch.
I adjusted the panhard bar and replaced link...problem solved! Now I have awesome launches 1.6-1.7 60’
