Steering Issue PLEASE HELP (new to maxima's)

I have a 2000 and its makes a metal to metal touching sound like when the back block plate to the rotor is touching. Only when you turn to the right on the left side, and moving not when not moving makes no noise.. Already took the wheels off to look under there nothing is touching and barely any play on ball joints and tie rods every looked good. nothing was touching cant think of what the noise is coming from..

PLEASE HELP

I bought it at the dealer for a few dollars, but you can get it online if you search the part number.

Take the wheel off and look around. The dust shield behind the rotor may be rotted and touching something causing noises.
