Front end noise

Hey all, I've got a noise that I can hear from the drivers front when I turn either or right or left, but not at all in reverse. It's kind of a fast grinding noise. but not loud. I'm suspecting the Drivers side CV joint, but I've always noticed a clicking, almost knocking noise in the past when I've seen those go bad. All boots look great. I'm really not sure what else it could be. BTW - I'm positive it's not the strut mount bearing plate, that also makes noise, but from a different location than the one I've described, and a different sound as well.

Thanks!

How about checking the wheel bearings (hub cartridge)?

I've checked to make sure that there is no slop in the bearing, and it seems fine, I'm not totally ruling it out, but I don't think that is the problem.

A bad wheel bearing doesn't always have play. Could be a scalloped tire also. Jack it up and run the car in gear, not over 40 and supported safely, listen to each wheel bearing to determine if one is noisey.

CV joints will normally click, pop or clunk, not grind. I believe the issue is the hub bearings.

I was thinking the same thing about it NOT being the CV joint, richtazz. I just wanted to get others' opinions. Also, the tires are in great shape. (only a couple thousand miles). Thanks for the input everyone. I'll look into the hub bearing more closely.
