Question Rear Brake NOISE

I have a 85 GSL. New rear brakes (Disk), brake kit, shocks.

Have a grinding rubbing noise on left turns but no rub spots can be found. When I touch the brakes the noise goes to more of a rubbing sound. Have had it apart 3 times and all looks good.....any ideas

how about the wheel bearings. if they are really shot the brake could change the noise by loading the bearing differently.

I assume you had the rotors turned? Also when you check your bearings be sure to check the in and out movement for play not just the grab the tire and wabble it effect. If you can feel play its probably on its way out they don't allow much play.
