Default Noise coming from rear tire

Have a 72 454,auto- everytime I turn hard the rear sound likes it scraping.
Also, How can I fix a floppy outside mirror? How hard is it to replace with new one?

Hi Fins,

I had the same problem on my 78. Turned out it was the just the tire rubbing against some bolt attaching the brake pads. I took the tire off, reset it, and no more sound.
