When I turn in my 98gt vert I hear a grinding/rubbing noise. The car is lowered but it has new rear upper and lower control arms, new rear kyb shocks, I also have new control arms and new kyb struts in the front. What could be making this noise? Its very loud and embarrassing when I really want to get this fixed. please help!

Did you replace all the stuff of a shop?
It would be anything the rear of the car because it only happens when you turn.
maybe strut boots in the front, or the tire on the fender lip.
You just got to get under the car and look for the clean or shinney spot.
Jack the car up and put the jackstands under the A arms. Turn the wheel where it would rub, then spin the wheel by hand while your under the car. listen and search.

I replaced everything,

yes it is lowered with ford b springs, my drive shaft is fine.

would i need to get different lowering springs? i know people who are lower than me and they sound perfectly fine. I'm at a loss. I will post a video of it doing it later. and it does not happen when i first start driving the car but 10 miles later it makes that noise.

brake cables are clean and out of the way and I own the book but it does not help me at all. I done all the so called "fixes". The only things i havnt replaced is the inner and outer tie rods and the upper strut bushings.

I think I found the problem. It is in the rear and is I believe it is my rear gears or pinion seal. I just hope it did mess up my axle shafts
