I would suspect your brake pads are worn out. The grinding you are hearing is the destruction of your rotors taking place. It is also possible that you may have a defective wheel bearing. Inspect your brake system.

What causes your car to make a grinding noise only at low velocity?
Most likely a bad bearing, or a dry bearing, usually from a wheel bearing. Reason being. At high speeds, the bearing is spinning too fast (you may just hear a slight whingeing sound), but when the bearing spins slower, the rollers, or balls are not thrown out by centrifugal force, allowing you to hear a more grinding noise.

grinding on front wheel is caused by 2 things. a bad or loose wheel bearing,or worn out brakes, have them both checked You might also want to check the level of fluid in the power steering reservoir - low or lack of fluid will also cause a noise (although more of a whining than a grinding). This can also be caused by worn or damaged central velocity joints if the vehicle is front wheel or four wheel drive.

If you have hubcaps take then off and drive it. If the noise is gone the squeak is coming from the metal ring on inside of the hubcap. A few of the platic rivets are most likely loose. You can buy some foam tape to insulate the ring and the noise will be gone
