    What's making that sound?

    Had a good weekend out in the bush, nothing too hard, and did not notice any scraping sounds over rocks or obstacles or any hard hits on any thing.
    Now when I make a Right hand turn, eg around a round about, I get a "rubbing" sound from the rear - sounds to be from passenger side. I do not notice it if driving slowly while making the turn.
    I have looked underneath and can not see anything loose or hanging down, and can not see any rub marks either. Currently there is a nice light coat of mud underneath so should notice any rubbing marks. Every thing looks straight aswell. My thought is exhaust but again can not see any rub marks, and all hangers are in place.
    Do not notice the noise going straight or at highway speeds, or left hand turns.
    What else should I start looking at?

    I had a similar recently ... after doing a steep offroad decent/ascent, pulled out on to the road and at speed, eveytime I tuned to the right I could hear a rubbing/scraping noise ...

    ... pulled over to find the front rhs wheel arch liner had popped it's fasteners on the front bumper, and a right hand turn was causing the airflow under the guard, to cause the liner to bend in on the tyre ... albiet, rub mark and hole made it a dead giveaway.

    Checked the mudflaps (well the passenger side is gone). May give it a good wash this weekend and get the mud out from around the brakes and see if that makes a difference.
