Weird noise turning sharp

Hey guys this morning was differently cold then others and i noticed ***only on right sharp turns*** im gettjng a metallic scraping noise or a metal grinding sound and im not sure whT it is... Here's what i have done on that side to get rid of some culprits... New inner and out tirods new axle new bearing new control arm with ball joint and bushings new struts(including bearing, mount, everything) pads and rotors that have only about 8000 miles on them and the hardware on the brakes are new, also have new sway bar bushings, but i do need a new sway bar end link but its not broken so i dont believe it to be related... Any one have any ideas ? Or is it just the abnormally cold weather messing with my head lol

Check the splash shield behind the rotor. Push it away from the rotor with a long screwdriver. You don't even have to take the wheel off to do this.

theres metal bump stops that are meant to scrape if you max out the steering wheel to either direction, sounds like thats whats happening to me. my Crown did it last year, took a sharp turn and i heard a Bruuung Bruuuuung Bruuuuuuung noise so i looked underneath and the bump stops were clean and shiny

should never max out the steering wheel, its hard on the PS pump
