Default suspension noise when turning left only

sounds like a rubbing or scapping noise when turning left. when in park I can turn the wheel all the way left and right no noise so im thinking its not the power steering. looked underneath didn't see anything abnormal but I haven't took the wheel off yet planning on doing that in about an hour or so. any comments appreciated

Jack up the truck from the A arm and put your hands on either side of the wheel and shake back and forth and check for any play if there is none now put your hands at 12 and 6 and wiggle top to bottom like a push and pull affect. If there is no play congrats your front end is tight next thing to do is check your strut mount you can do that by barely jacking tire off ground and using a long pry bar underneath tire and prying up if you hear a clunk clunk your strut mount is bad trust me you'll hear a noise also a good way to check for lower ball joint play.

Check the front end the link pins. Control arm bushings. There are a lot of things there.

Turns out it was the hub/wheel bearing.

Check the Brake dust cover on the inside of the brakes, mine did the to me once, right after the bearings were replaced. Only b=made a noise turning one direction.
