my car is making a grinding sound. I makes this sound only while pushing on the gas. it makes no sound while the car is in reverse or while it is in neutral or while the front to wheels are off the ground. i changed the bearings and it is still making the sound. it sounds like it is coming from the fron passenger side of the car. Do you know what this could be?

Check the differential fluid level. The fill plug is located on the back side of the differential, if it's dry, it may be too late.
The differential uses a seperate lubrication supply from the transmission.
If the differential is dry it will sieze, maybe causing an accident and breaking the case.
