Default Drivers side Front tire problems

I had the old front tire go flat last week. After i pulled it off i saw what is to be rubbing on the inside. Need help figuring this one out because iam putting the new shoes on her tommorow. I felt around and all that i could figure is that the bottom of the strut was rubbing agaist it in bumpy conditions? Also i found the cv joint boots are in two peaces on both sides throwing grease every where. this will be getting fixed also. If any one has had these problems please let me know as soon as you can. also take a look at the photo and you can see in the center of the word pilot is where the rubbing ends. Could the tire be rubbing against the spindle? i checked the other side and it is totally fine. oh one more thing, it sound like i have a wheel bearing going on the drivers side, it makes the whom-----whom-----whom noise when i am going 15-35.

thanks in advance for any help

Scott

crazy wear man. not sure. if it is making that noise, probably bearing issue. see if it goes away/ comes back when you turn the well left to right while driving. if you lean the car real hard to the left and it goes away then real hard to the right and it comes back, drivers side wb probably the culperit.
