Default 01 Dakota - Front Left Grinding

Hey guys, long time reader... first time poster ( i think).
Anyways, forthe past few days i've been hearing and feeling a terrible grinding (metal on metal) noise from the front left wheel.
I had all my brakes, calipers, rotors, and drums done about 3-4 weeks ago so i'm pretty sure its none of that.
When i turn Right... and the front left shock compresses the noise gets considerebly louder. When i turn left it gets less loud.
My guess is a wheel bearing... But i'm not sure. Any help is greatly appreciated.
I will most likely do the work myself being that i am in an automotive program (GM-ASEP) yeah i know its GM but hey... Its the experience that counts.
Thanks Again...
Sean

P.S.
I've already searched.. .but haven't found too many with my exact symptoms.
