Grinding noise from left side when i turn right?

I hear a loud grinding noise coming from the driver side wheel when turning right. I also notice a bit more understeer. It doesn't have to be a sharp turn (in fact it does it more with slight turns) doesn't matter the speed, doesn't matter if I'm accelerating or not. It only does it when turning right, not left. It does this every time.

I had jacked the car up before and rotated the wheel and tried to wiggle it to test the bearing, everything is fine. I had taken the wheel off and looked at the rotor and pads but i didn't really thoroughly look them over because i had no time (i was at school in tech class whilst doing this). My tech teacher said it was a bearing but i highly doubt this because it acts fine when turning left and when driving in a straight line there is no weird noises.

The car tracks straight and true (alignment isn't off) and is completely normal other than the damn grinding noise. It is possible for me to record a video and post it up here if it will help anyone. Any help would be really appreciated!

Completely normal when i turn left, no noise at all. My brake pads are pretty low tho... also there is a clunk coming from somewhere in the suspension.

okay ic. So i was looking into buying one and well... on ebay you can get a no name for 65$ or an ac delco for $180 (and then $50 shipping) and then off chevrolet online parts its $288. https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/how-...earing-214097/

I have no idea where i should buy it, any suggestions? anything to look out for? any recommendations? do both or just the one?

Stay away from cheap ebay junk, you get what you pay for when it comes to car parts, buy a 60 dollar bearing it will be howling or have play before you know it, spend money on a quality part and that's what you get
