Default 06 Vue, Grinding Noise

I have been having loud metal grinding noises from the front passenger side of the vehicle and when I turn left or accelerate from a lower speed, it makes the noise. No noises when turning right; however.

I would say right front wheel bearing. Is it all wheel drive?

Jack the front of the vehicle to get the passenger front wheel off the ground. Grab the tire with your hands at the 12:00 and 6 positions and push pull check for play. Same thing at the three 9 positions. Push pull check for play. Please report what you find.

The wheel bearing is strong and nothing is loose, I am willing to bet it might that I need transmission fluid or a piece inside the new CV joint axle I recently had installed that makes the noise.
it’s the 4 cylinder front wheel drive

If you hear a noise like that, more fluid isn't going to help. I'm betting that replacement axle is defective.

I bet if you had mentioned the CV axle, I might not have guessed wheel bearing. 50% gets 50%

Additional information often trickles in late, derf. You know that better than I do! You had a damn good guess based on the first information provided. I would have suggested the same thing.

I reserve the right to be cranky.

Front end noise diag with no mention of recent work?

I'm not upset that I guessed wrong.
Just a pet peeve, you know me.

OP, did you get it sorted out? I'm really not a bad guy. Just cranky
