4th Generation Weird rubbing on a back right wheel

Today my 97 xle started making this metal rubbing sound, but only on left turns, when car tilts to the right side. It's kind of metal sound, similar to a sound when brake pads go low and rub metal to metal when you press brake pedal, but in my case sound is alot milder. Plus car makes i only during left turns, brakes were checked a month ago and still brake without problem.
One spring snapped on a back left wheel maybe 2 weeks ago, but i don't think it's related to a rubbing sound since it started rubbing only today, and it shoudn't rub if it only occurs during left turns.

Anyone had this problem before????

if youre sure its not the brakes, maybe it the wheel bearing. does the sound have a pattern that matches the turning of the wheel and get louder when you increase your speed?

^^^ it's a constant scraping sound, which happens more often when speed increased in a turn, and becomes louder if a turn radius is shorter.

Will get my back breaks checked again tomorrow to make sure it's not a brakepad that went low or a heat shield.
