K so this was happeing ever since i got the car. the rear left wheel scrapes or makes a scraping noise every time i make a right turn. I already removed the fuel pipe guard piece that protects the pipes and sprayed it with that spray on rubber stuff to protect from rocks. Anyone else has this problem or is it normal?

There's no reason it should do anything like that... Do you mean during hard cornering, when the rear suspension turns? Could be a worn bushing, perhaps, if that is when you have the problem...

yea its basically during hard turns which is like almost every turn i make

you think it dosnt have to do anything with alignment. Cause the guy i bought it from lived on farm lands with potholes and bumps.

Worn bushings or a bad wheel bearing. Check your caliper bolts and make sure they are tight.....

I'd say wheel bearing. the caliper is connected to the spindle so when the bearing allows the wheel and rotor to move, the rotor will scrape on the caliper.
