Passenger side would pop when turning. very slight vibration.. replaced the whole passenger lower control arm and stabilizer pins, but one thing didn't get fixed.. when you start take off and accelerating sounds like something is dragging across the tire and it is not.
Checked motor mounts. engine doesn't move or shift at all. nothing touching, but when your foot is on the brake sounds like something is holding on.. when taking off it sounds like something is dragging/rubbing the tire ...this is the best way to describe the sound...

Hi and welcome to 2CarPros.

When the job was done was the brake shield removed? If so it may have been put back in in the wrong place causing it to drag. Look at the other side and make sure it is in the same place and position.

It is also possible there is a rock stuck between the brake shield and the rotor.

If it is not either of these could you upload a video of the sound so I can hear it?
