A grinding noise usually indicated bad wheel bearings.
Front grinding could be a bad wheel bearing or in the front axle assembly.

Wheel bearing
your brake pads are probley wore out so its grinding on your rotor
A grinding noise in the wheel will either be caused by worn brake pads, or a defective wheel bearing. Remove the left front wheel and inspect brake pads. If the brake pads are OK, you will need to remove the caliber and inspect the wheel bearing.
If a car is making a grinding noise in the right back wheel, it could be a sign that a wheel bearing is failing. It is necessary to take the car to a qualified mechanic for repair.
take it out before you bust the fly wheel
