Default grinding sound when turning left.

only happens on acceleration and as soon as the wheel is turned left of center. coming from the wheel area on the driver side. could it be tie rods or hub bearings? or whatelse?

Raise the car up. Put on jack stands. Grab tire at 12:00 o'clock and the 6:00 o'clock. Push in the top of the tire and pull out on the bottom. If it moves it is the bearings. Do this to both sides

Wheel bearing, tire rub (what size tires do you have?), or cv joint.

i really think its the bearings. it happens as soon as the wheel is turned left any at all. and only when accelerating. if in nuetral, no noise. so now i am worried it may be something with the drive shaft.
oh and the tires are stock, so no rub.
