Unhappy Front axle weird noise/grind

This is weird,

I change the shocks, control arms, sway bar links and a grind sound comes during driving, it is like metal rubbing against metal while I drive by irregularities of the road. It looks like the driver side.

I already check everything, grease the all balljoints but nothing. Also tighten all the bolts in the control arms.

The most weird: It happens more when the road goes to the left...

Today after test it, and found again the grind noise, my brother told me that maybe the brakes caliper or the protecting plate. In this forum I see something about the subframe bushings???

I'm totally lost, I don't know where else to check

Ideas????

the change in tone when turning suggests you have a bad wheel bearing. thought is, when you turn left the car loads up the right side wheels - causing them to moan from the extra weight. So based on your info, I'd suggest looking at the right front wheel bearing first, then the right rear. Check out youtube for some vids on wheel bearing replacements.

Ok,

I will, but is a loud noise normal for this case? It's really louder.

Thanks, I'll check that.

Make sure that the dust/water shield is not touching the rotor.

I have just bought a 2nd hand Volvo xc90 2007 plate. The car is driving fine but there is a scrapping noise on the driver side wheel when i put on more gas. Does anyone know what could be the cause of this?
