Default Bad wheel bearing?

If I make a very sharp right turn, like pulling into a parking spot, I'll hear a grinding noise from my front left wheel. Left turns and going straight is fine.

This also doesn't seem to happen when first driving the car, only when driving for a little while.

Just want to make sure it's not a bad CV joint, as I think it's a lot more expensive. Should I get the wheel bearing replaced at Honda? Or some neighborhood mechanic? How much will it cost? Thanks guys.

I had that problem in my 6th gen (lowered) and after greasing it the problem went away for a few months but the bearing still needs replacing.

The fronts go at around 100k while the rears normally hold on untill about 150k. That's average from what I've seen.
