the shield behind my left front brake drum was dented in pretty badly. when i would turn the wheel all the way to the left or right it would rub against the back of the drum a tad

i ended up taking the wheel off, and with a pair of pliers bending it back in to shape as much as i could

no more grinding noise!

thanks for posting what you found. I had the same problem, when I picked up my new 09 Yaris it was raining but I could still hear a slight grinding noise from my left front driving home. The next day it was nice and sunny so we took the Yaris for a drive, with no water to quiet the noise it sounded like shit. Drove back home and removed the left front wheel, just as I thought the front brake rotor shield was slightly touching the rotor....pushed it back a little and no more noise.
