Default Scrapping noise when turning?

Well, noticed my car made a scrapping noise when turning left in my parking garage. It only happens at low speeds and I can only hear it in the parking garage. Any ideas what it might be? The car just hit 40k, so I don't think it would be the wheel bearings.

Well, one of them is hanging back a little bit. I am thinking it may be that and when I am turning (dropped on 19s) it is hitting it. However, it almost sounds like metal on metal.

+1 on rubbing. Inspect the tires and inner fender for rubbing. Might need to roll your fenders...

+1, and the reason you are hearing it in parking garages is because a lot of that sound that normally wouldnt bounce back at you is, allowing you to hear it.

This sound just started so I am thinking it must be that piece of plastic that is hanging down. I'll just zip that piece back up.


Anything else that it might be? How else could I check for rubbing?
