Any way to check the CV joint? there doesnt seem to be any play in it and the gaiter is in good condition
ABS malfunction could make a horrible grinding noise, you should be able to feel it through the pedal in any case . It would not always bring the light on as the system is doing what it thinks it should.

Test the drive-shafts by slow tight-full lock- figure of eights in an empty parking lot.
