Recently, I started my car and as I was backing out of my driveway I heard a loud grinding noise coming from the front left wheel. My contour was driven around the block and even from a distance I can hear the grinding noise. What could it be?

if i were you, i would be checking the cv joints right now, check for a torn boot, which will indicate a failed cv joint.
