Allen - just went through that and after numerous other fixes were tried discovered it was collapsing motor mounts that caused the geometry to be off and the wheel to rub only on right turns. No cure for me but new motor mounts - Your experience might be different, but if they are getting old it is0 worth a look. BillR Jacksonville FL 1981 300SD 302k miles

It is a regular scraping sound, not really alarming but definitely audible. It varies with speed. Sort of a rasp-rasp-rasp sound, vaguely metallic. Does not occur driving straight ahead, or when turning left. I know wheel bearings can make noise, but have always heard that described as more of a groan or rumble. This is just a scraping sound, like something is rubbing against the wheel though I can't see what it might be. I'll pop that wheel off tonight and see if perhaps a rock or twig is lodged in there somehow. Other ideas?
