weird rubbing sound?!?!??!?

first off:
1998 eclipse gst

now then, when i turn in either direction, i'm starting to hear a strange rubbing sound that seems to be coming from my passenger front wheel area. it's not a grinding type of sound that you would hear with a busted cv. it's more of a flat tire rubbing across a gravel surface type sound that doesn't occur every time i turn, but maybe 1 out 3 times i turn.

i checked the cv boot for any tears where grease could escape but there's nothing. no grease anywhere in the area or on my wheel. i ruled out the cv/axle problem.

after that, i checked ps fluid and it was fine so no leaks there.

i have no idea where to go from here.

would a busted shock make a sound like that? how do i tell that it's tossed, if it is in fact my shock? and again, if it is my shock, where can i find a place to rebuild it? i run koni yellows.

HELP!!

is your car lowered? check for weird wear on your tire from it dragging on something.

the car is lowered. no uneven wear on my tires.
it's driving me nuts!
