Just noticed it today, when I making a left turn or cornering left hard I can hear a light metallic grinding noise coming from the RIGHT front wheel area. The noise is consistent when putting force on the left side of the car, ( I could drive around in a counterclockwise circle and the noise will be constant). Sounds like very light grinding/squealing like metal on metal rubbing. Any ideas?

 

time to remove the wheels and inspect the brake pads and rotors
If you cant do it yourself take to to a shop-

Sound travels in strange directions too

 

If it was the brake heat shield, the sound would be a constant variable. In this case, I do think its a combination of the pad and rotor. However, at the same time, turning angles/direction bears no affect on how the pad/rotor is applied to each other.

Take off the wheel, do an inspection.
