Default Turning noise..

Alright guys, so over the last year this problem has been getting worse and basically the best way I can describe it is when I turn my wheel ether right or left, moving or not I get this awful sounding noise almost like a metal on metal sound,
it's just a deep rubbing noise. I believe it has something to do the control arm or steering down by the passenger wheel and I think something needed greased but not really sure where to look or what to take apart to grease or replace.

its not break pads i know that for a sure they have been changed multiple times and car doesnt have to be moving for these issues and its not power steering its just the front left that makes the noise and i know what power steering noise sounds like..

not sure about the wheel bearing as like i said it doesnt make any noise when going straight just when turning

as for tie rod ends that seems like a logical one but what exactly would i be looking for or would it just need to be changed, ive never really dealt with tie rod ends

this probablem has been going on for about the last 25k miles too

Listen, it is your wheel bearing. When you are driving straight, the bearing doesn't have pressure put upon it so it wouldn't make noise. When you are turning is when it would make that grinding sound. I can't believe it's been 25K miles man. Your whole hub assembly might be shot now because you waited so long. Also, i doubt its your tie rod, but if it is, your wheel will have a lot of play. Move around the tie rod end link behind your tire. If you can move it even the slightest, then its shot. It's one of those two things.

Not necessarily wheel bearing. I have a sound too more pronounced when turning but at slow, straight speeds too! Dealership told me it is the tires. I have not replaced them yet but have Toyo Proxes 4 so not sure there yet.
