Default Help! Front end grinding with hard turns

I've been doing a lot of searching on this forum and others and haven't found a good answer for my problem, so I'm hoping someone smarter than me can help diagnose!

I just purchased an '07 LR3 HSE with 87K miles. 95% of the time everything sounds good, but when I turn hard (especially when braking through a turn and the weight goes more to the front) I get a bad grinding from the outside wheel (turn left, right side grinding and vice versa). It is bad enough you can feel it slowing the vehicle slightly. It's not when I have the wheels cranked and turning tight and slow (like rubbing on the wheel), but when there is more force pushing out and on the front.

I was told that the front control arm, both front hub bearings and the front brake pads and rotors were replaced but I don't know when. There is not play in the wheels when I pull at 12 and 6 o'clock, but there is some when I pull at 9 and 3 o'clock.

Coming around a corner the other day it was good until I hit a bump, and then the grinding started in. When I straighten out it stops.

Thanks in advance for any insight and advice!

Rhythmic ticking, or ratcheting type sound?

Could be ABS sensors, are you running a lift ?

More of a ratcheting type sound, but deep/guttural (best I can describe it). Again, only when I'm turning hard, otherwise everything sounds and feels smooth. I do have the Johnson Rods lift.

It's the DSC system engaging ABS. There's a multitude of reasons why.

BMW & Toyota's have same issue under similar conditions. Sometimes it's as simple as too much, or too little tire pressure, other times the YAW sensor, and, or speed sensor.

on my old disco 1 I just removed ABS pump fuse.

Please jump in you guys are more knowledgeable, end of the day I'd like to think we're all here to help one another...
