Strange metallic rubbing noise in left rear

Hi all, time for some more sage advice. First the specs: 2008 w/38K, not sure which package but nothing fancy. This morning got in the car and started off and hear a metallic rubbing noise coming from the left rear of the car. Sounded like it came from around the wheel area. Temp was coolish around 36 degrees. The noise only happened for the first few minutes and only when going real slow, like 5 or 10 mph, and only when I was turning right. Sound was like the the sound you get when a brake pad is worn way down and scrubbing on a rotor or drum. Also, the sound would speed up as I sped up until a certain speed then would go away. I actually stopped and restarted to be sure I could make it happen again. Once the car warmed up I couldn't reproduce the noise. Drove the car later in the afternoon with temps in the high 40s and no noise. Any ideas? Also, I never use the E brake so can't imagine that would have any impact. Let's hear it, what say the experts?

 

Blizz, I get what you're saying but sometimes a person lucks out and their experiencing a common issue that lots of other folks have experienced. If you get 15 "could be's" and 14 are the same - based on the same set of symptoms - a person could deduce that the problem is a common one. I will be taking it into the shop for a check out but thought I'd get a little dose of the collective wisom. Besides, I need to up my post count. :rockon:

 

There it is! Now you sound like me, trying to eliminate all the possibilities. I asked myself the same thing. And how about the fact that it didn't do it later in the day when the weather had warmed up?

Supposed to be 29 in the morning. I'll be taking it to work so I'll report back and let everyone know if it happens again.

 

27 degrees this morning. Did all the tricks, driving slow, left hand turns, stop, start - everything. Nadda! No sound nothin.

Guess I'll get to pay an hour's shop rate for the dealer to check it out and tell they can't find anything wrong.
