Grinding and clicking noise - Wheel Bearings?

Okay, I have a 99 olds intrigue 3.8 with 100k miles. Recently, I started noticing a clicking noise when turning right. I replaced both CV axles, and it did not go away. This noise ONLY happens when the car is on the ground. it happens in neutral or drive, braking or no braking, and only happens when I trun right. Now, recently I noticed the car makes a horrible grinding noise when the wheel is LOCKED to the left under acceleration. (like making a U-turn). Could both noises be caused by a bad wheel bearing? or bearings?

Answer:

replace both wheel bearings, you figure, the car is resting on them, if they're grinding as you say they are you should feel a slight vibration in your gas pedal. for the clicking take it to a few shops see if anyone knows. after that i really don't know what to tell you.
It could be bearings or differential
Yea it is that kind of engine.
