Driver front grinding/rubbing after Ksport install

What up all? I am having some problems with my Ksports. Not sure if its them or something else. I am getting a grinding/rubbing vibration and noise coming from the front drivers side. It only happens during acceleration, and can still be heard when maintaining speed, but not coasting or braking. The noise/vibes are lessened when turning. I got suggestions on CV and wheel bearing. Im thinking CV, due to the fact its dampened when turning. Im not tucking or anything, no slammin here.

Any ideas? Its pretty loud, and Im almost afraid of something snapping...

Thanks!

Could be axles.
Could be dirty coilovers
Could be coilovers that need re-greasing (pillow mounts)

Ehh, the coilovers aren't dirty...I cleaned em up a lot before the install. I'm thinking CVs, just because of the fact that its not nearly as pronounced when turning, and it honestly feels like it is trying to impede/inhibit my acceleration.

I tell almost everyone this: Check the dust shields. Sometimes when working on the suspension, you can bend them and they make a terrible noise.

K-sports click...thats just what they do. I don't know if we've ever fixed them, but check the K-Sport thread in the Suspension forum.
