i lower my car about a week later this metal on metal contact noise started

well this is the problem.. when i lower my car about a week later this metal on metal contact noise started to happen but it only happens when i turn right.. i tried to re surface the rotor and then maybe though it was my right rotor completly but i switched that out and i also changed out my lower control arm for some reason but if anyone has any suggestions on what it is then tell me please

I have what I think might be the same noise you're describing when I'm turning right too (and I'm also lowered). I think what it is in my case is the wheel or wheel balancing weights touching the rear trailing arm. I plan on looking into it soon.

well i took my wheel off to see if it was rubbing and there was no idication of that and i got my wheels balanced when i got my rotors resurfaced

heres something to try, I also have metal on metal sounds on braking I wanted to know exactly what it was.. I put my car on 4 jack stands and then put into gear and you can literally stand right beside the sound in question (with a friend behind the wheel) Maybe you can see better like this, or at least trace the sound by listening. Be careful not to get to close to the spinning wheel for obvious safety reasons and keep it slow. good luck.

ps I found my rear rims were bent slightly, and may never had noticed otherwise.

Sounds like it may be a wheel bearing issue, if you jack it up and spin the wheels you won't be able to hear it(unless their really bad). So check the left front wheel bearing.

Your shocks may just be bottoming out when your turning.
Check your tie rods and ball joints.
Make sure your axle nut is tight.
Wheel bearing would make a whine or a dull grinding noise if it were going bad.
Look around your struts and springs for loose connections, and for springs that are not seated properly.

Be more specific with the sound, grinding, thud, clunking. Do you notice it when your parked and turn the wheel or only on the road.

Check for contact btw the rotor and backing plate/dust shield
