Ok so I'm done the rear brakes on the Legacy. New rotors and pads. Now when I make turns (mostly does it on right turns), it sounds as if the caliper bracket is touching the rotor.
I have had it apart a few times this morning and I can't see anything wrong.
The rotors spin freely when the car is up in the air.
I'm wondering if it's a wheel bearing starting to go?
But it didn't do this before touching the brakes.
Thanks in advance guys.

Check to see if you bent the heat shield. I've done this on accident. It makes a nasty metal on metal sound on hard turns.

Thanks, I'll check that when I get a chance.

Yea lemme know. I'm curious!

Ended up being the backing plates.
Too much rust and was touching the rotor.
Grinded them down and all good now.

Right on. Those heat shield things behind the rotor right?

Yes.
Still seems to be rubbing sometimes, but I'll live with it.
