did you check for knocking from your downpipe? a lot of aftermarket downpipes (well, titek at least) cause this problem where they rattle under even mild-medium turning. it sounds like something nasty too like a wheel bearing or something. saw this on an 06 and it ended up being the tranny mount being too soft which caused the transmission to move about and hit the none stock down pipe.
This weekend, I'll remove the wheels and brake calipers to see if anything has changed since last time. The noise really sounds like a scrape every rev of the wheel when driving and the steering is turned. My current thought is that the brake dust shield may have picked up some debris or may have got bent and is dragging. At its 120k service, the mechanic could hear the sound, checked wheel bearings, brakes etc. but couldn't see anything wrong which was why I thought the diff might be doing something nasty and transmitting the noise out down the driveshaft?

Car Info: nonplussed
Let's see...
5th gear thrust bearing replaced as well as the clutch under warranty.
AC went around 100k
Driver's side wheel bearing @ 135k
Struts are shot, but I haven't replaced them.
3 windshields.
Can't remember anything else besides regular maint stuff.
