Default Scraping noise at LF wheel on Rt turns

Just replaced the axle shaft that I got from Raxles (what a nice piece!) and the TRW control arm I got from Groton also very nice. Easy job given Tech's posts above, thanks! Now that the clicking is gone I can hear what sounds like brake pads dragging on a an out of round disk on the LF but only really audible on hard right turns. Does not have to be at full lock so I ruled out tire rubbing on fender liner. The bearing felt fine when I had the old axle shaft out but there was no load on it either. Any thought as to where to start looking. PS grease was all over the back of the caliper and the rubber boot on the piston has pulled out a bit. Suppose the piston is not retreating far enough because of that? So to go on so long.....

Make sure the backing plate isn't close to the rotor. Most of the time if it is close when if flexes slightly it will rub.
