Scrapping Noise when turning
I have this weird scraping noise when I make right turns. Not the clicking noise you get from bad axles. Like metal scraping together. I goes away once the wheel is straight. Buddy of mine thinks its the control arms.

+1 Same problem awhile ago and that was my issue. To confirm jack offending side up, grab your tire and push/pull it feeling for any play. If it's solid, you've generally at least just ruled out the most common cause.

If it's when you're turning I would almost guarantee its those damn heat shields behind the brakes. I took a flathead and covered it with a towel and wedged it in between the inner side of the disc brake and the heat shield on the lower side and the problem has been solved for months. It keeps recurring though and I just have to keep repeating it. I might actually be doing it again tomorrow if you need pics of what I'm talking about.
