metal scraping sound when turning-please help

I have an 02 Maxima GLE, which makes a continuous metal scraping sound (sounds like from left wheel) only when in a right turn. it sounds as if someone were braking with worn pads and rotors were being scraped. its a continuous scraping

if the turn is made slow there is no sound, even if its a sharp turn. I only hear it when right turn is made with a little momentum-mabe 10-15mph depending how sharp th turn is (with or without brakes hear the sound).

I removed the wheel and checked and all joints and seals seem fine. no cracking or anything. rotors look good no scraping areas.

I did recently replace all 4 brake pads, and had all 4 tires replaced and alignment, but that was about 2 months ago and didnt notice anything right away.
thanks for any comments that may be helpful regarding what the problem may be.

it is most definately your wheel bearings. so go get it fixed before it gets any worse. heres what you can do to make sure. jack the front of the car and wiggle the left wheel back and forth, if it moves, then its the bearings. ive done the same thing, change break pads get an alignment, but it was the bearings.
