Default Loud grinding noise from Left Front wheel.
I have a load grinding noise coming from the left front wheel. At first I thought it was road noise coming from the tire but when I put the window down I hear it gets much loader and I can tell it's coming from the wheel and not the tire. Any ideas what this can be?

I think it could be the front wheel hub.

Sounds like a bad wheel bearing to me.

That's likely what it is, just changed mine out for that exact reason. Could be trashed brake pads too, but if not its probably the hub.
