Scraping sound while turning ... backing plate? S70

Hi all,

Haven't posted here in a while which means I haven't had problems with our cars. :-)
There is a scraping sound I hear coming from the front wheels when turning left or right (more pronounced turning left). The dealer has adjusted the backing plate a couple of times last year but the scraping sound is back and even louder. Any ideas, suggestions, etc?

Thanks.

Did he lubricate the steering stops???

If there is a scraping noise check to make sure you have not lost any clearance bettween the tire and the wheel well.

Did you hit a curb while parking??? Maybe you could have knocked the tire out of "adjustment" hard enough to start making the noise.
