Possible Brake/Wheel/Tire Issue

Hey! About six months ago i took my 04 alero in to the dealer about a grinding sound when i took a sharp turn. They replaced the brake pads and said I also could use new front tires but I never replaced the tires because I thought they still looked fine. Everything was fine until this week when that same grinding sound came back. Is it possible the brakes went bad that quickly? I drive it prolly harder than I should but nothing to crazy. I was also thinking could it be something in the wheel like a bearing or something. Any Help would be appreciated.

When my wheel bearings went it was a really loud hum/maybesortagrinding noise especially when I turned slightly right. Sound like it may be your problem?
Are any of your warning lights coming on?

does it make like a popping sound when you turn sharp? if thats the case then it maybe your CV joints and ya.....very expensive fix. im on the same boat and shes a good $400-$500 fix for both left and right sides to be done

Same thing happened to my shit box. I'm still under factory warranty though. So they replaced the front and back rotors? No idea what those are because I'm a moron, but it was all good after that.

if you have this problem and have bought and installed aftermarket springs i know the solution. the problem i had was that i never put the washer in between the rubber piece and the nut on the top of the strut that holds everything to gether, it makes a screetching noise if you dont put the washer because the nut is right against the rubber.
