Left front wheel is making a rubbing sound?
I have a 2000 Excursion 2wd. The left front wheel or something up front is making a rubbing sound when I turn to the right. Checked the brakes, they looked fine. Pulled front rotor off and replaced the wheel bearing just incase. Still making that same noise?
I can't see any sign of something rubbing either on the frame, brakes lines, or control bars? So what's the problem? Anybody else ever have this issue?

Metallic in nature? "Smooth", no clicking. etc.

My 05 Ex had a scraping sound on the right front. When I took the tire off and turned the rotor I found that the inner dust cover was just a little too close to the rotor and it would rub in certain spots (which also means that the rotors need to be turned). I bent the dust cover (thin metal piece just inside of the rotor) away from the rotor a little and problem solved.
A stick or something must have bent it outward towards the rotor just enough to make it scrape.
Good luck on yours...
