Suspension Experts Advice. Noise From Front Left

A little background. The car spun out and hit a curb. Bent or broke the wheel, tie-rod, front rear lower control arm and strut. I have replaced all above including the end link. Not touched was sway or front lca. Here's my problem

While driving over 25 if I turn the wheel ever so slightly to the right I feel what seems to be a rubbing noise, also gets worse the more into a turn I go ( the noise is more feel thru the steering wheel than an actual noise). It doesn't do this when moving left. When going straight no noise at all. Also no noise on right or left turns from stop.

I have pulled the wheel a couple times looking for rub spots but I don't see anything.

Any suggestions

is it a rub noise or a humming noise that changes pitch with speed?

If it's a humming noise it might be the left bearing. (the left side being the side that was damaged correct?)

Might have damaged the steering rack. Although I would expect the sound to happen in both turn directions. So you cannot hear the noise if you turn lock to lock in the driveway?

More like a rub. I've had vehicles with a bad bearing in the past. No humming. More feel through steering wheel than noise. Yes left side

No noise at all turning from side to side on the ground or jack stands. Have to be above 20 mph to start hearing it and only when turning towards right

check the rotor for marks to be sure it's not contacting the caliper,

do you get any shaking on the highway?

Not really. If any shaking not enough to bother me. I will inspect rotor. How about the front LCA with the radius bushing. Could I have screwed that up?
