Default Grinding/scraping noise

I recently had Camburge CO's and UCA's installed by Bill West. From the start I had this scraping sound coming from the left front wheel area. This sound would increase in rate as the truck speed increased... obviously, this is somthing rotating... like the brakes. Then tonight I was making a left turn and started to hit the brakes, I got a big scraping/grinding noise. I attempted to repeat the same situation so I could hear it again, but it didn't do it. Then I was making a left into my garage and I it did it again. It only seems to make this sound while turning left and hitting the brake. I got under the truck as best I could, but couldn't find anything that looked as if it was scraping.

I know the uniballs will squeak at first, and I remember this sound when I first drove the truck at the CO's were installed. This doesn't seem to be the same. I'm not saying it couldn't be the uni-balls needing some lubricaiton, but it seems odd that it happens when I hit the brakes too.

Should I just grease the hell out of the uni-balls and see if that help? I may call Bill and see if he can take a look at it.

Any thoughts on what this might be?

Does the inside of your rim have markings on them? Could be something scraping on the inside.

this happened when i did my lift too. turned out my dad accidentally bent the brake dust cover with the jack and it was rubbing on the bottom of the rotor. really easy to bend back straight. worth checking...
