noise from frontend

[Hotrod]

Have a few symptoms. One a popping noise that I can feel in the wheel while turning left while at slow speeds. Also if I quikly accelerate and turn the wheel same direction. Along with that I am hearing what sounds like a rubbing noise (similar to mud tires) at any speed. Can slightly feel it in the wheel but goes away when I'm taking a curve to I think the left, haven't driven it in two weeks. I can also hear a faint grinding noise from the passenger side whith very slight pressure to the break. I rotated the tires to see if it was a front tire and noticed my passenger tire was warn in the middle and inner inside aspect of the factory tires. I have had no drag or pulling to one side that I've felt. It is lowered but allignment is suppost to be correct. Anyone have a clue, say in a search something similar but not getting all of it. CV for maybe the popping but shouldn't that continue to get worse and pop more than just once at a spacific spot?

SOme have lost wheel bearings - that would be a rubbing or groaning sound, but I don't think a popping sound.
I'd get another estimate - $350 for a wheel bearing sounds high.
