Rubbing metal noise

Hi Guys

I have an issue with my car.
There is a metal rubbing noise coming from the right front wheel when turning left.
The noise is also very light when braking.
Seems to only start when the car is hot.

I thought it coulb brake pads and disks however the onboard computer states there is 3600km for the next change.

Any ideas on what the problem could be.

Cool.
I have searched on the internet and some results have stated that it could also be the wheel bearing at fault

Just be sure which side the brake pad sensor is on. Our cars only have one sensor and there is a good chance that the driver side wears faster than the left.

I also would not let my brakes get down to 3500km without physically inspecting both sides.
