What would cause a grinding noise in a Honda Accord after replacing front drive shafts?
You may very likely have bent the thin metal backing plate behind the brake rotor. That will cause the backing plate to rub against the rotor and make an awful grinding noise. Its not too hard to reform the backing plate away from the rotor.
What would cause a grinding noise coming from my front drivers wheel when you go slow and turn but doesnt happen when you reach a high speed?
Without more detail, my first guess would be that you have worn down your break pad to the metal on the side that is grinding. What your hearing is the metal from the pad grinding on the rotor. If this is the case then you may hear it get worse when you apply pressure to the breaks. You will want to replace the pads on "both" sides of the car and you might need to replace the rotor or have the rotor turned that is on the grinding sound side ASAP.
Do bad brakes gradually make a slight grinding noise and get worse the longer the vehicle is driven without repair?
Grinding noise is metal to metal contact between the brake pads and brake rotor or break shoe and brake drum. Prolonged contact between metal to metal can result in front or rear brake failure.

Possible its time to change those brake pads out. The whining noise is possibly the metal grinding to your rotor, which would cause your wheel to shake. Consider getting those rotors turned as well.
Grinding noise when braking?
A grinding noise when braking can occur when the brake pads are going bad. You are hearing the brake grinding on the metal discs.
