When I turn right, usually when driving slower and depressing the brakes, I hear a light scraping noise. It sounds like it's coming from the front tire. This doesn't occur every time I turn right, sometimes the brakes seem to 'spur' this scraping noise but the brakes don't have to be depressed to cause it. Just wondering if it should cause me serious concern, the car seems to drive great otherwise.
