Grinding When Turning Left

When I turn left, I am noticing a grinding. It is only when I turn left and it sounds to me like it is coming from the driver's side. Any ideas? Thanks!

Oh, I just got new brakes in front a couple months ago and replaced driver's side wheel bearing.

A friend suggested outer tie rod ends. Is this possible?

Just had it checked. Somehow the bolts on the wheel bearing came loose. They're tightened now and it seems to be fine.

I was thinking CV axles too, but the they look pretty good to me, no tears in the boots or anything, but hopefully it holds and I won't need to replace the wheel bearing for a little while.
