Default 07 Tahoe Driver wheel makes rattle/grinding when turning at low speeds

Hey recently my Tahoe started making a rattling/grinding noise around the driver wheel. It is most prominent when turning the wheel all the way to the left at low speeds. The issue can be felt in the mostly in the floorboard but also in the steering wheel too. It is pretty much negligible when driving straight or turning right.

Also before the grinding issue turned up there has also been a POP that would happen around the same wheel if I gave too much gas when accelerating from a stop.

ABS and service traction control lights have been on for a while before this grinding issue happened. Brake pads are pretty new though. Anybody have any ideas?

More than likely the bearings in the hub are shot.
Jack the wheel off the ground and look for play in it. May need to use a bar under the tire to ''flex'' it up / down enough as it's a heavy assembly.
ABS sensor is internal to the hub and if bearings are bad enough the ABS light will trigger. ABS scan is needed.
