Some times when I turn to the left I get a "grinding" sound coming from the front right wheel.
I almost sounds like something rubbing the tire tread, that kinda sound.
But nothing seems to be rubbing.
I just changed all the suspension front and rear.

What should I check?

Get some one to turn the wheels left while you look at the right wheel - you will see if its rubbing/touching anywhere.

Check your steering stops.

It sounds like the tire rubbing but I am quite sure its not.
The sound is simlilar to a grinding sound and the wheel is not turned very hard.
I am thinking that I may have tightened the top of the shock absorber too tight and mashed the bushing too much and this may be causing the noise.
I will loosen it a bit when I get home and have a good look underneath.
