Default right wheel noise

took car to work today, coming home I developed noise coming from right front wheel when turning to the left. car has to be moving for the noise. just turning the wheel won't make the noise. turning to the right is okay, no noise. Do yoy think it is wheel bearings? sounds like a grinding noise. thanks in advance. 85 vette with 59000 mi.

Are you positive it's from the front? I had a noise in the right rear, thought it was a wheel bearing. Turned out to be a u-joint in the half shaft. Fooled me because it didn't make a heavy clunk and had more of a grind noise to it.

If you're sure it's in the front, brake pads and wheel bearings would be worth taking a look at. Good luck

Ditto....get her of the ground and inspect before driving any further. Grinding away on parts gets real $$, real quick.
