Scraping noise?

[85firebirdtransam]

When im turning left and only left and hitting the gas it sounds like my front passenger tire is rubbing on the well and my car is scraping the ground if anyone can help i will be very thankful.

may be a bent spring or bad shock causing the car to tip to that side making the tire rub and scrape the ground. are you running the factory size tires?

I noticed that on my 87 GTA, shortly after rebuilding her, that the larger front sway bar in combination with just a slightly wider front tire than what came on the car made the tire rub the sway bar when turning in a lock to lock situation. I have beed told that a simple thin spacer plate between the hub & the wheel would solve this problem.

spring sag or broken springs,tires too tall or wide, or broken rubber bump stops are all possible problem areas.

Your steering and/or suspension is simply worn out more than likely.Shocks will help for awhile,but wear out in 15k miles or so,if your springs are in the condition i think they are(20 yrs old).

A bad steering center link,pitman or idler arm, or tie rod end(*A* frame busings too) can be the reason for rubbing too,as well as a possible safety hazard.

It could be that 20 years of front-wind has warped the plastic inner fender closer to the tire,but if you cant figure out what the problem is,take it somwhere and have it looked at.Make sure a wheel isnt about to fall off or somthin.
