Default scraping noise after brake job...

I just finished up my front end brake job this past weekend. After driving around for a little while, I noticed that when making right hand turns, I can hear a scraping noise, almost like metal scraping metal...any ideas what the problem could be? I don't hear this noise or any other strange noises when braking, it's just when I cut the wheel to the right...I thought maybe it was just the metal dustguard but I'm not sure if it's maybe something else.

Did you use lube before putting on the pads?

yeah, I put the grease on the back side of both the inner and outer pads.

Check the dust shields behind the rotor. I have bent those in a few times and it does what you described.
