Grinding in front end somewhere, im lost. HELP

ok, What could cause a rubbing/grinding from under my car in the front. It only happens when im goin around 60+mph and turn my wheel right. Just had my Rack and pinion replaced. I have no clue what it could be. I snapped my rear axle about a month ago and that is when it started. I hit black ice, spun out, and slammed into a curb. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. thank you.

Have you jacked the car up and turn the wheels to the right and start spinning them? Try to recreate the problem.

Wouldnt a bad bearing be grinding all the time? My alignment is off a little, it was suposed to be aligned last week when I had them try to fix the problem and they replaced the rack. Whether they did it or not idk, but the car is def out of alignment again.

That is a bad bearing... I know, because I had the exact same problem. The reason it's only happening when you are going fast and turning right is because that is when you are loading up your left wheel.
