Default wheel is hitting?

When turning my car allll the way to the right my left tire i think is rubbing against something and making the ride sound very bad and bumpy. When all the way to the left it is fine.. ne ideas? This is a 99 trans am.

Default Maybe

I just recently had a problem like this but in both directions. Is it a metal on metal sound? I found that for some reason the a-arm was digging into the back side of the rotor when turned fully one way or the other. It was so bad that with the front wheels off the ground and the wheels turned fully left or right, you could not manually turn the wheels by hand. I have the baer claws in the front which may have something more to do with it than stock but check that first. If its contacting, it will have scraped into the rotor about the first 1/4 inch of the inner most pad surface.

If its not a metal on metal sound, take the tire off and look for scuffs on the fender well....could be hanging down close to the wheel.
