Noise when cornering in GTV 3.0

Evertime I corner my GTV to the right I can hear a metallic rubbing. This occurs at slow speed as well as high speed. It appears to be coming from the offside front wheel area. Has anyone had a similar problem and if so how did you resolve it?

Hmmm, maybe your caster arm's busings might be gone. That thing like to clunk with worn bushings. Maybe even your front sway bar.

maybe the wheel weight is hitting the caliper?

I've seen front wheel bearings so loose/worn as to allow the rotor to touch the splash shield and the CV boot clamp to hit the inside of the knuckle.
Could be that the brake pads are just worn out though.

I agree with the loose wheel bearing.
