metallic noise when taking medium to hard left. Help?

[barcorebar]

When I take a fast left hand turn (medium speed for a 7) or an all out left hander I hea what appears to sound like a squeal or screach (but not loud). It does not vary much in volume or have any direct effect on handling. I have an '85 Caterham Live axle car. I am thinking could it possibly be a wheel bearing? The car is excellent and has 15K miles on it.

 

Thank you for any ideas?

Its probably the backing plate rubbing the brake drum. Mine did the same for a while, I bent the backing plate out a little and it helped a lot. I don't see any danger, just another seven sound that adds character.
