Sounds coming from the left side of the car in the front…scraping noises like the metal…mainly when the wheel is turned, even just a little…any ideas?

Does this happen when the car is moving or stopped? If moving, moving fast or slow?

There is a splash shield behind the brake rotor. These are easily bent. Sometimes, the splash will get bent and rub against the brake rotor. With the brakes cool, you can reach the shield, and bend it, just a 1/4 inch, away from the brake rotor. That’s it.
