Unhappy UH OH, I don't like that noise

I have my first sound coming from my baby that shouldnt be coming from it...

It is a scratchy sound, only when i turn to the left, even the littlest turn, can't hear it at higher speeds, barely hear it at low speeds, coming from the front right.

I think it is time for a brake change, but I think it is something else, you guys know what i am thinking and you don't think its that do you...I pray its just the brakes....

what yall think

Take the wheels off and inspect the brake pads and see how much pad is left and go from there.

Make sure to take a good look at the inner pad, I've seen numerous cars where the outer pad still has a good 1/4 life and the inners are smoked.

Other things to check:

Wheel bearing
Loose panel or bent/loose metal piece rubbing when turning left.
