Question Front end noise !

I know it's been ask and answered but I can't find it !!
So please, one more time.
I hear a rubbing or grinding sound when I turn the wheel all the way to the right.
It sounds like something in the left front wheel but for the life of me I can't find it.
There was a prior post but I can't find that either.
So... HELP...

Either bearings or you have a lift with large nobbies and they are rubbing.
