My car is making a grinding sound. I makes this sound only while pushing on the gas. It doesn't make the noise while the car is in reverse or while it is in neutral or while the front two wheels are off the ground. I changed the bearings and it is still making the sound. It sounds like it is coming from the front 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 separate lubrication supply from the transmission. If the differential is dry it will seize.
