Groaning/Grinding noise, need opinions on what it is

First, the problem: 2 months after I get my agx+sprint combo these little noises start coming up and now its getting worse and worse. Here are the three symptoms:

1. Groaning/Grinding noise when the wheel is turned all the way to the left, going forward or reversing. Visual inspection shows nothing wrong with suspension

2. Clunking noise from the front strut areas whenever going slowly over speed bumps or dips (if right side goes in first, only right side has noise... vice versa)

3. When the chassis is flexed (going onto driveways), the right rear clunks as the car travels up onto the driveway.

This is getting seriously annoying and the noise in problem 1 sounds terribly bad, like metal or metal or rusted parts.

#1 could be a bad wheel hub bearing if it grinds once every wheel revolution.
