Drive Shafts are good, i was low on transmission fluid i just put some in not sure if that could be it or not......

could it be something with my wheels everything under is solid as a rock that i cant tell

sound like metal to metal almost but i had my brakes done not to long ago so they are fine

could it be my universal joints??

Jack up the front end and spin the wheels
and listen to see if you hear anything. Like
Metal on metal sound. Maybe a wheel hub.
