Default Strange sound when turning left???

I cant figure this out...

My 96 has a strange sound, only when turning left. It sounds like something is rubbing, like I would imagine it sounds like if the tire was rubbing the fender or something when turning.
The sound has been there for quite some time now, and its driving me nutz!
So far I have checked the following:
  • Wear marks on fender/hood/wheelwell. Nothing to bee seen at all.
  • Wear marks on tires, or damage to the tire, nothing.
  • The tire does not touch anything on full lock, not even close.
  • Took the car for a drive with the hood not shoot properly, to make sure it was not a clearance issue, sound still there.
  • Changed the shocks today, sound still there.
  • PS fluid changed to redline, Level is perfect.
  • Accessory belt changed.

ANY ideas welcome, is there something I missed here...

What about one of your "rack boots"? It could be making a noise. When you turn it streches>
