metal scraping noise when turning

i am an owner of a 1995 manual toyota corolla. i don't know much about cars so this is probably my best bet at finding the solution to my problem.

about a week ago my car started to make a metal scraping noise whenever i was making a 90 degree right turn. When i let go of the steering wheel to even out, my car will drift slightly to the right. The only way to even out the car again is to make a 90 degree left turn, where i will here a slight scrape and my car will alighn itself correctly again.

Alternatively, when i make a 90 degree left turn, my car will drift to the left and i have to repeat the procedure above to even it out again.

What is causing this metal scraping/popping noise, which i believe is coming from the front right wheel of my car? I don't even have to be driving for the noise to come out. I can have the car in idle and turn the wheel all the way to the right and hear the same grinding noise.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

My sisters car was doing that, but it wasnt a corolla it was a POS Chevy, and it turned out to be bad bushing on the front wheels, dunno if that is the same for the corolla tho.
