Freind borrowed car

Now when I turn all the way to the left my tire makes a rubbing noise...Cant see anything wrong, and he claims nothing out of the ordinary happened...What could have caused this, it never did this before...Does not do it in reverse just going foward, and with the wheel all the way to the left..Not to the right...Thanks, Tom

My guess is he ran over something and bent a tie rod. Look underneath and see if both sides look the same.

When's the last time you checked or replaced your front disk pads? The rubbing sound could be the "scrapper" hitting the disk indicating your pads are worn.
