Welcome to NICO!

It could be something like a wheel bearing or something along those lines...

Sounds maybe like a crunching noise??? It could also be something likea CV shaft...

if this is a wheel bearing or cv shaft, how much am i looking at for replacement? The noise sound more like when you are grinding a gear with a manual transmission. Also, could this have anything to do with a low level of power steering fluid or possibly a bad pump? I am going to the mechanic tomorrow, so i guess we will see. Thanks.
