    I have a grinding noise in my front left wheel well area. Whenever I press the gas between 5-40 mph I hear the noise. It only happens when I press the gas. Whenever I gas it up to around 45+ it stops whenever I let off the gas it stops. It's a weird noise between a grinding/vibration noise. I know it's not the wheel berring I just have no clue what else it could be. I also know I have a ticking noise coming from the water pump I have to replace was wondering if that could have anything to do with the other noise as well.

    Thanks

    Maybe it's a CV axle? Even in 2wd they still spin.
