Noise when turning right, dust shield?

Only when turning right. Coming from the front left wheel area. Video below.


Thanks

the frequency of the noise sounds speed dependent. so i would assume prob wheel bearing? not sure tho.

It sounds like dust shield scrape. Can you identify which wheel? roll down one window at a time and see if you can identify which side the scraping is coming from.

I'd also just go ahead and pull the wheels off and give the dust shields a quick visual to see if they are close to the rotor.

I took of the left front wheel and sprayed the area with WD40 and greased the brakes and the noise has been reduced. It is still there, just not as bad.

I looked at the dust shield and it seems that there isn't any contact with the rotor.

Are your pads worn? there are wear indicators that contact the rotor when they are getting worn. Could be one of those

As suspected, it was the dust shield. It was making contact with the suspension parts.
