Hi arroyokimberley,
No, the front mount would not cause any grinding noise. Most likely the wheel bearings are bad. If the noise is a crocking type, then it is the CV joint that is bad.
If any repairs had been carried out near the wheels, check to ensure the backing plate is not brushing against thr rotor.
