Default rubbing noise

So the car is a 94 civic ex dropped 1.8 in the front. So a few months ago I dropped in a b16a from hmotors.com with hasort mounts. after I did the swap I got this rubbing noise from the front right it all most sound like a tire rubbing but it not and it vibrations the hole car only when I am taking a hard left turn and under heavy acceleration. So I though it was the axles so I picked up a pair of 2000 si's its still there. Not sure what else it could be all my bushing are good any thoughts

Do you see any scrape or rub marks anywhere on the right axle? Do you only hear the noise when turning? Have you checked the power steering fluid level and tie rod bushings?

Put the front end on stands, pull the wheels off, and compare suspension and steering components on the right and left sides. Differences may be informative. Also check for rubbing of the tire in the wheel well.
