rough noise near trunk with hard turn Sign In

I have a 1994 Nissan sentra, standard transmission. It has been a pretty good car with few repairs throughout the time I have had it. Today I noticed that when I made only a hard right turn there was a noise coming from somewhere near the trunk or wheel well on the driver rear side. I thought it was somthing in the trunk shifting when I turned, but upon emptying anything that I did have in my trunk I proceeded to take it for a ride with fast left and right hand turns. It is only upon turning right that the rubbing or shifting noise can be heard and it has me baffled. Any guesses? I cannot see anything rubbing underneath or by the wheel well.

Could possibly be a bad bearing or a bushing in the control arm. I would jack it up and wiggle and spin the wheel and see what it does. Also inspect the bushings for wear. Being as old as it is they are undoubtedly dry rotted and cracking at minimum.
