Default ABS and ESP light on with wheel grinding

2005 Grand Cherokee Limited with Electronic Sability Program (ESP). I was trying to make a tight turn at low speeds and a horrible grinding noise came from my front right wheel and the ABS and ESP lights came on. Since then the lights have stayed on and I have gotten the same grinding under similar speed and turn conditions, but does not happen every time. Anybody have any ideas what is happening?

Welcome to CF.
I'd check that RF brake for wear/damage, including the ABS & ESP wiring harness.
Since those lights are on there are Trouble Codes stored.
Here's some info on your ESP system:>http://www.wkjeeps.com/wk_esp.htm

Check your wheel speed sensor. It may be grinding against the tone wheel.
