Interesting noise from front end....Any help!

I have started to notice some sory of grinding or scratching noise coming from the front end of my car. I am almost positive it is on the passenger side from what I can tell. It has the metal on metal sound for sure and I only notice it when turning the car usually at lower speeds, like pulling in and out of a parking spot in first gear or reverse, never in other gears that I have noticed yet. My guess is bearings of CV axle, any suggestions from anyone??? Any help would be great!

Well keep this in mind cause I had a clonk type noise in my front end when starting off in first usually or when turing very slowly. I had just put ES bushings in and found out the sway bar bushings lost all their greasing. After a quick regrease they stopped the noise. Give it a try and see if that helps, even if they are the stock bushings still.
