ok i will do my best to xplain this.
(i just got home from a date, ya it was fun)
anyway...
i got a problem with taking LEFT turns, i cant go more than 5-10 mph taking left turns, i can take right turnes doing 50 if i wanted, but when i go past 10 taking left turns, it just grindes something all to hell!!
i lifted up my car and i could see brown or metel deposits on the very inside of the tire where it would rub, i just have no clue if the rims r mixed up or if its my struts or if its (make up something here). on monday i will have some pictures to show u guys, pls ask questions if u think u know whats wrong! thanks..

My truck has that problem with right turns. The tires dont rub and the suspension is fine. It's the engine that goes into a lower tone and has a goofy rpm SLOW increase if i feather it. Almost embarasing. Anyways thats just my truck, I have a fealing if you cant hear or see the rubbing it wouldnt be the tires. Mine seems more like the power steering or something to do with the engine.

Sounds to me like you have a warped rotor or something is loose (wheel or caliper, Esc , Esc) but could also be anything in suspension to that side like a tie rod but you would notice that big time if you looked under the car.

A while ago I had a clunkign on right turns. I forgot what i got replaced... I believe it was the torque arm tho. I'll check my invoices tomorrow if I remember.

brownish or rust colored metal shaving don't come from your tires rubbing that would be black rubber strip's on the inside of your wheel well and a burning rubber smell when you stopped.

If all that is happening is your tire is rubbing , then jack up that side and you should notice a bent tie rod or some damage in that area.
