Default grinding noise in drivers side front wheel

When the car is cold, at low speed, and slightly turning left I get a rubbing/grinding noise from the front drivers side wheel. If I cut the wheel hard I don't hear the noise. After driving for 30 minutes at highway speed I don't hear anything until I let the car cool down. I checked the brakes and rotors and there is no wear. Any ideas what I need to fix. Thanks.

CV would click, sometimes the rotors just make noise when they are cold. Once they warm up they are quiet. Could be just that. Could be.

Default The answer

Hey guys thanks for the help ended up at the repair shop. Looks like it was the wheel bearing. And because I waited so long it ground up the wheel hub. The whole mess ended up costing about $325. I also found out more recently that the tie rod was also shot. So hope this helps the next person that has these problems.
