Grinding noise???

Grinding noise???
When driving my 40 I heard a grinding noise coming from the general vicinity of the front hubs (both sides).
At first I thought id bent the backing plate onto the disc or something when wheeling, but when I jacked the front up and pulled both wheels off everything seemed ok and I couldnt get it to make the noise no matter how much i turned them.
I even locked the hubs and gave em a spin to no avail.
The noise is always there and gets worse when accelerating through a corner. The only thing I can see which may be causing it are the pads are less than 1mm (very close to touching) the disc. Is it possible they are grinding on to the disc? Its a really metallic sound which makes me think that this is not the case.
Any ideas????

where is this bearing located and is it an easy fix? my 40 is making grinding noises, jumping out of gear, shaking like hell and squeels when changing down a gear... all goes away when clutch is depressed and all of these problems started at the same time.

Turned out is was the centre driveshaft bearing. Or systematically spray WD40 on a thing at a time see if itmakes the noise go away.
went there dressed up, came back messed up
