Default slight scraping noise on right turns

something on the front right of the car makes a slight scraping/brushing noise when making right turns under throttle at any speed/gear.

the cv boots are not split and look to be in good shape besides a slight bit of cracking (not worn through)
It makes zero noise on left turns, when driving in a straightline or on the highway.

what are your thoughts, cv joint? wheel bearing?

what would be my best place to look, and what would i look for, thanks

Default didn't think it would be the bearing

since the car is dead quiet the rest of the time. its not even a hum really, more like when you rub something warped on sandpaper.

the pads are old, but have a good bit of material left. the rotors are a little beat up.

does not happen in straight line.

thanks
