Default chirping on turns?

when I turn hard rights the front passenger wheel area makes a chirping or a squeal depending on how sharp i turn. It makes the same noise turning from a stop or while moving. I think the chirps are in time with rotations. It sounds like a metal chirp more so than rubber to me.

It has been happening for at least 5 months, i really dont care about the noise, just concerned safety wise, It seems like it might have gotten worse tonight, or maybe its just in my head.

any ideas?

Check the backing plate/Dust shield mounted near the disc brake caliper. It may be bent and when turn you sharply it will rub against the rotor.
