    Grinding noise from passenger side

    Recently I have done a lot of work to my front end. Lower ball joint UCA, neuspeed sport springs, koni yellow, front brakes, wheel bearing.
    I am getting a grinding noise not loud grinding but it is there. I have checked the dust cover and it doesn't appear to be touching anything. The brakes don't appear to be sticking. I did change the cv axle out about 4 months before all the work.
    When I apply the brakes initially I don't hear the noise but right before I come to a stop I hear the noise then I stop when I start moving again I hear the noise up to about 20mph then it seems to go away. I also hear it more when making a left turn and the passenger side gets loaded.
    I recently lowered and have not had an alignment yet as I wanted to let the springs settle. It did it before I put the struts on last weekend .
    What do you think this is?
    I have my idea but would like more opinions.

    My thought is the cv axle.

    As always thanks

    So, I thought I should update this.
    I recently purchased some 93SE wheels that looked like shit, so I have been polishing them for a while trying to get them to look decent.

    I went today and got some tires put on them, Drove some and guess what:
    Vibration is gone and the rubbing noise I heard as well as the sound I thought was the front wheel bearing.

    Don't forget your tires while chasing down front end problems.

    I'm just glad I found this before I replaced the front wheel bearing again. I would have been pissed.
