Need Some Help - Rear Wheel Noise

Would appreciate some opinions...

I have a scratching kind of noise (slightly pulsing) on my left rear wheel when I turn right. Sounds like rubbing brake pads. Left turns are fine and straight ahead is totally quiet. Calipers are rebuilt, pads are new and I have just installed a new brake hardware kit. I removed the Emergency Brake Cable to eliminate that possibility (no change).

Am I right in thinking it might be bearings? (83 GSL)

Found my problem... the bottom bolt that holds on the caliper assembly was too long and was rubbibg on the inside of the rotor on occasion.

Very Easily done..in fact I did it myself when I did the Brake Swap..Glad you found it in time though.I knew something Was "up" with mine and I ended up Replacing everything(calipers,Pads and Rotors).When I finally found out the Bolt was the Culprit,I was kickin myself!.But I figured NOW I know that everything is New in the *** end of my car and I don't have to worry about anything for awhile.(so ,label/mark the Bolts on Disassembly,Save Some Cash!)
