Grinding noise front axel

Just finished last repair and a new noise has arrived. Thought it was brake pads and checked them and they are ok. Here I am with a grinding noise from the driver side front.

Any suggestions as what I need to check?

Do wheel bearing or CV joints grind when going bad?

Thanks,

JTM

Grinding more often wheel bearing. CV axles tend to "click" while turning as they fail.

Edit the "axel". Not trying to be a PITA but just don't like my name being misused
