Default Sound from rear on hard corner

I just had the shift linkage pulled and replaced everything from the tranny up. When the tranny was put back in, something is not right. The car is fine driving a straight line. The car makes a grinding noise (almost sounds like geard grinding) when you take a hard left turn and give it gas though. The noise is about as loud as the magnaflow muffler on it, so it's not quiet by any means.
any thoughts? My thoughts were maybe a bearing or a CV not torqued...

another thought - maybe tires? the Yokohamas I just put on there are about 1CM wider overall, but I'm running stock cookie cutters and the tires are an overall 1in. smaller diameter (225/50 15s now). This stil wouldn't explain why the sound started when the tranny was pulled and put back in the car.

Did you change out TA fluids when you did the drop? Did you swap sides on the axles to where maybe a previous bad side of a CV is now the loaded side? Just a thought.

I had a shop do all the work. The TA fluid I'm not sure about. The CV's should be okay since they were replaced last year.

Wheel bearings come to mind. They're a lot less reliable on the early cars.

Well, I got comfirmation from the shop that it's the tires rubbing. I guess thats cheaper than any other options to fix!
