Did a little off roading this weekend down in southern Missouri. On the way home when I was turning left I could hear a grinding noise almost like something in my brake. Where I was there were lots of small rocks and sand. I checked the brakes and didnt find anything. My next thought was a wheel bearing. Truck is a 2007 NNBS 7.5RCX w/35s 90k miles. Any thoughts?

Could be a bent brake shield rubbing on the disk. Many people have bent these and not known it??? If it isnt that it is a bearing like everyone said
I'll for sure check that before ordering the bearings. Its also a 4WD so could it be the from CV axle?
