Default grind in front

i been noticing some grinding/vibrations in the front end but its only there when i turn left. and a little when i brake. i replaced the wheel bearing cuz it had some play but didnt solve it. driverside looks good. a friend suggested the cv shafts are bad would this be it?

Usually CV shafts click. I'd drop the pan on the front diff, doesn't hurt to do a fluid change anyway, look for metal filings. Might be brakes too? Does it make any sounds when spun by hand?

sounds like rotors and brake pads...sometimes it's more pronounced during turning...
